Is there or can there be created a poppy motif that can be used in profiles?

Question

For those KIA or  who served in a theatre of war, can a poppy be linked to display in a prominent position on their profile.

If there is already the facility to do this - can it be made simple to just link a poppy to a profile?  Or can instructions on how to do this be added to the right hand link help?

Answer 1

Terry Wright made one that many of us have been using. (Terry's such a whiz kid!)  You can find it on any of the Vietnam POW profiles right below Military Service. It's easier if you just let me copy and paste it somewhere on a profile for you and then you can use it wherever you want. It won't copy-paste here; so I may have gotten something wrong below, but this is what it's like. It's lovely because it acts as a visual divider and draws your eye to that line.

Answer 2

I include the Canadian Flag gif on my veteran profiles.  You could link to the poppy on the Roll of Honor page just as well.  I did a sample up for you. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ward-21242

You can also set  this as the primary picture so it's in the thumbnail or set it as background.  The directions are here: https://www.wikitree.com/photo/gif/Terry_s_Photos-122

Answer 3

You could use this:

{{Roll of Honor

|category=Killed in Action, United States of America, United States Civil War

|image=Buck-4860.jpg

|country=United States of America

|description=Killed in Action

|war=United States Civil War}}

Comments

Buck-4860.jpg is a poppy motif.

That looks like the source image for the ones on the roll of honor page.  

The search engine in wkitree will turn up several more.

Answer 4

As mentioned, the Roll of Honor has a small poppy image the Veteren Recognition page (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Veteran_Recognition) has a larger poppy and some other insignias.

Answer 5

I've used this one several times, Sez: 

[[Image:Photos-320.jpg|40px|??]]

You can adjust the size of the poppy in the 40px.  Replace the double question marks with 'center' or 'left', etc.

Alternatively, use this one on Stickers:  Military_Badges_and_Insignia-1.jpg
