    Would wearing a Poppy instead of clan or other cap badges be looked upon in bad taste?

    my poppy is beside the clan basge on my balmoral,looks fine. Im an ex serviceman and its quite common to see a poppy behind or beside a clan or regimental badge. Might look a little bare just on its own though

    I am quite sure that no one could even consider that as bad taste. I have also seen the poppy worn behind a clan badge, above a clan badge and alongside a clan badge and no one has even mentioned bad taste. Me? I still prefer the button hole in my lapel. More important than where the poppy is worn, is the fact that we take the time and as much expense as we possibly can afford to buy a poppy, to help and remember all those that allow us the freedoms that we enjoy today.

    Amen to that Jock. With so many of our troops on active duty overseas right now, it is double important to remember their sacrifice, and that of those they leave behind.
