Remembrance Day poppies lay on a soldier's kit at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. On the 11th November of each year, the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries remember the servicemen and women who have given their lives for their country during conflict. The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance in the UK. Each year millions of pounds are raised by the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal for different Forces welfare projects.

Didn't realise that Britain used simunition (I'm assuming from the description), is it in widespread use or is it just for special purposes such as this?A Royal Marine from the Fleet Protection Group Royal Marines (Scotland) is pictured carrying out dry drills during Close Quarter Battle training (CQB) techniques at Strone Training Camp (Scotland) as part of Exercise Seaspray 2010.The Marines from Faslane underwent various different training stances from clearing rooms to ladder and stair routines using simulation rounds adding to the realism of the exercise. This ammunition projects paint onto the targets.

It's use was fairly limited a few years ago, not sure about now.
