Supporters of this year’s Poppy Appeal by the Royal British Legion can download 
a digital ‘My Poppy’ image for the screen wallpaper on their mobile phones. Downloads
trigger a £1.50 donation to the appeal.
The downloads can be acquired via touch 
screens on MAX BOX kiosks, which offer a range of services in pubs, restaurants,
petrol stations and workplaces across the UK.
