British Army veteran, 103, who fought in WWII, has been selling poppies for 70 years now and doesn't plan to stop anytime soon
The elderly veteran used to serve in the service corps during WWII and was later the branch chairman and the club chairman for the Leighton Buzzard Royal British Legion.
Walter "Wally" Randall, a 103-year-old WWII veteran is reportedly the oldest poppy seller in Britain. Randall fought in Egypt during the war and has sold poppies for the Royal British Legion for about 70 years now. He started volunteering with the established charity in the early 1950s in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, and is said to return to go back to Wilkos in his town to continue the fundraising efforts in November. The veteran celebrated his birthday just last month.
He told the Daily Mail in an interview: "I like to do my little bit to help the heroes, like those on the Invictus Games. I'm going to get a poppy appeal box and then my granddaughter Emma will run me down and drop me outside the shop."
