I agree with you, @scalextrix. I liked how the British Legion incorporated women into their poppy campaign this year - they selected individual women who served and lost their lives in WW1 and shared their names and a few details about them as part of a poppy jewellery offering. I bought one of those special edition brooches and ended up researching the young woman's life story. This was a real person who gave real service and nobody had to invent her role in a submarine.
