Every Man Remembered - Royal British Legion

[Jomot]

Apologies if this has been posted before but a fantastic idea from the Royal British Legion.  They all deserve to be remembered, whether in our 'trees' or not:

Seems that we are not allowed to remember them if they aren't on their database

Tried to enter a chap who was added to the CWGC database last week - but not to the copy underpinning this site.

Great idea but I have spent ages trying to place a poppy on a particular location for my g g uncle, still not sure if it has worked. Maybe it is more difficult because I am using my tablet.

Hello Jool,

the placement process for a poppy is very slow.

You have to wait, to wait, to wait ...,
then you should move the poppy to the right place (fine tuning).
You are allowed to explain why you have placed it there.
They will ask for a donation.

Your poppy is shown on a little map right above the name.
Modification: You are allowed to place several poppies per person.

Regards
Rudolf

NB: I would like to enter the service number and the age of my g uncle. No chance.

Hi Rudolf, thanks for your response.  I went through the fine tuning process and thought I had placed my poppy, I've been back on the site to check it is there but can't see it.  I will have another look later when I have more time.

Placed one poppyt so far: no issues, found the zoom facility worked fine. Did have a bit of a problem in identifying exactly where to place the poppy at sea, with no landmarks, but managed a best-guess.

Thank you Jomot for posting the link, I hadn't heard of this. I've now placed poppies for both of my Great Uncles and written a little story for each - their ages were not there so added that into their stories.

I tried to place one "at sea" unsuccessfully-it did not seem to work for me

I also had a problem finding one of mine(which I knew was there somewhere) and went to FAQs where it suggested putting in less info-that worked !

Hello Kim & GrahamSimons,

you can put the coordinates in the field - it works fine.

If you enter:    57.05, 6.079167
You will get the position for the battlecruiser HMS Invincible - sunk Battle of Jutland, May 31, 1916.

Coordinates needed? Just ask.

Regards
Rudolf
