Notes Haig Fund Poppy Box, pre 1950 From 1927 to 1930 New Zealand's Anzac Day poppies, initially sent out from France, were supplied solely by the Earl Haig Fund. Then from 1931 onwards began to be made by New Zealand disabled ex-servicemen. In 1921, British Field Marshall Earl Haig, former Commander-in-Chief of the British Armies in France and Belgium, was so impressed by Madame Guérin's poppy project that he authorized the British Legion to begin a British Poppy Day Appeal, the proceeds going to disabled and destitute veterans of the Great War. In the United Kingdom, it is known as the Emblem of Remembrance. The day selected to so honor the fallen was 11 November - the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
