The 1918 Historic Poppy Day Collection

By 1918, the war’s end was a slow collapse. Exhaustion and hunger gripped soldiers, while influenza swept through the ranks. The German Empire, weakened by blockades and unrest, could no longer fight.

On November 11th, in Compiègne, France, an armistice was signed.

The conflict serves as a stark reminder of the devastation of war, showing the consequences of unchecked power and violence. 

By keeping their stories alive, we learn the cost of conflict and why it must be avoided. Commemorating those who fell helps us appreciate the peace and freedoms we now have, making sure that the lessons learned from the horrors of the past guide future generations toward unity and understanding.

This Poppy Day Collection commemorates the end of the First World War.

It includes two stamps from Belgium and the German Reich, and coins struck from Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, all minted in 1918.
