Welcome to the OAS
You have come to a branch of BlackPoppyRose & BlackRose of Remembrance dedicated to preserving our historical voices and faces.Without the Family, there is no history. No matter how little you know, that is all we need to ensure something is captured. A name, place, regiment, hobby, something they used to say, memories of what they said, and you heard is more than enough to preserve their memories. Let’s do this together and share it.
What We Do
We work with families to research & document your ancestors’ contributions to global wars since the 16th century.
Ensuring local communities worldwide are able to build on the names we add to our remembrance each year.
Raising funds with the sales of the posters we aim to publish our own books & materials with the information we collate.
