MURPHY’S ARMY –

AMBASSADORS OF ANIMAL REMEMBRANCE IN THE UK

#THEY ALSO SERVED

Launched in 2016, Murphy’s Army Purple Poppy Campaign pays tribute to animals lost in service, and to those who serve us today.

The purple poppy has long been a symbol of remembrance for animals lost in service but until recently was much less well known than the traditional red poppy.  The aim of our Campaign is to give the purple poppy its rightful recognition, and thus ensure that the animals who served, and continue to serve, alongside their human counterparts are not forgotten.

We are extremely proud that our efforts over the years have raised significant awareness of the meaning of the purple poppy, and that many more are now being worn with pride. None of this would have happened without our amazing supporters!

Thanks to this wonderful support we are proud to have raised over £150,000 which has helped former Service animals in their retirement.   It has also provided life-saving pet oxygen masks to Fire Services around the UK, and much welcomed cooling coats to Police, Prison, Fire and other Service dog. Every penny really has made a difference!

 Our 2023 Campaign will soon be underway and we’re delighted to partner with two very special charities who will benefit from funds raised.  They are the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals, and The Horse Trust. We really have a very exciting year ahead, and we hope you’ll lend your support once again to make it a great success.

To everyone who has lent their support thus far, thank you, and to new supporters, welcome – together we will ensure that the contributions made, and continuing to be made by the animals are not forgotten, but remembered always.
