    Why would anyone want to draw attention to a propaganda tool that led to the slaughter of millions of soldiers?

    Bizarre.

    Do you really not see the significance in that image?

    Your country needs YOU, to sign up to an imperialistic war and die in your millions, as hindsight has shown us was the case with WW1.

    Images like that should be an embarrassment to these islands, not celebrated as some kind of positive message.

    Not to mention the subliminal connotations of the message even today.

    the floral-emblem £1 coins, which began last year with a rose for England and a daffodil for Wales, will continue with the addition of coins featuring a thistle for Scotland or a flax plant for Northern Ireland

    A * flax plant what's that all about, surely it should be a shamrock

    It's an iconic image from the time. One which most people recognise.
    Don't see the big deal or any underlying connotations.

    I'll spend it regardless
