For the past three weeks, since October 23rd, 67-year-old Rudolph Champagnie has set up his Royal British Legion table in the concourse of Liverpool Street Station, London's busiest station, with at least 260,000 people passing through daily. From 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., he and the volunteers who accompany him take advantage of the influx of people passing by to sell their product. It is the red poppy (the red poppy) in all sorts of imaginable forms: pine trees, bookmarks, crosses, bracelets, or the more traditional paper poppy. Last year, Rudolph, a former corporal in the British Army, did the same. And the year before that, too. He's been doing it so many times that, in fact, he struggles to remember how many. "More than fifteen, for sure!" he tells ARA.
