Marking 80 years since the end of the Second World War, this exquisite poppy lapel pin is a tribute to the resilience, bravery, and sacrifice of those who served across all branches of the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces. Designed to commemorate both VE Day and VJ Day, this pin is a meaningful reminder of the end of the war in Europe on 8th May 1945, and the later surrender of Japan on 2nd September 1945. Each detail of this pin honours the significant milestones that brought peace and victory, celebrating both the European and Pacific theatres.

This unique lapel pin is crafted with an extraordinary connection to history, incorporating fragments from authentic WWII artefacts from each of the three services. The Bakelite buttons used in the pin design come from an original WWII naval officer’s jacket that served in the Atlantic convoys, representing the Royal Navy’s vital role in the Battle of the Atlantic. The Army’s contribution is reflected in the inclusion of metal from the iconic British spike No4 bayonet, used alongside the Lee Enfield rifle. Completing this historical trio, material from a Lancaster bomber, the RAF's legendary heavy bomber, has been incorporated, linking the pin to the Royal Air Force’s enduring legacy.

Thoughtfully designed by Icarus Originals, a veteran-run business, this pin bears the poppy symbol with a centre star and the engraving "WWII 80." The reverse side carries the heartfelt words "Lest We Forget," capturing the spirit of remembrance. This collaboration between Icarus Originals and the veteran community ensures that each pin is not only a work of craftsmanship but also a powerful piece of history, merging stories from land, sea, and air.

Wear this lapel pin with pride as a tribute to the men and women who served, sacrificed, and brought an end to the war. It’s a beautiful addition for collectors, history enthusiasts, or anyone who wishes to honour those who fought for peace. Display it on Remembrance Day, VE Day, or VJ Day, or keep it as a cherished symbol of gratitude and remembrance for the enduring legacy of the Second World War.

All profits from your purchase will go towards the Royal British Legion's work in supporting the Armed Forces community.
