judy7007 Posted 25 March , 2014 Share Posted 25 March , 2014 This project is seeking information from relatives of WW1 soldiers who, while recovering in hospital, did embroidery for the altar frontal. "With 133 names, ranks, numbers, regiments and hospitals of soldiers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, as well as the UK, it is hoped that local, regional and national media, as well as social media, can help trace the relatives" http://www.stpauls.co.uk/News-Press/Latest-News/Art-from-war-descendants-of-WWI-soldiers-sought-for-St-Pauls-commemoration Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Underdown Posted 25 March , 2014 Share Posted 25 March , 2014 I've pointed the cathedral archivist in the direction of the Australian and Canadian records. I didn't immediately spot any New Zealanders, so I didn't mention where their records could be found I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judy7007 Posted 25 March , 2014 Author Share Posted 25 March , 2014 Excellent David. Am hoping that some photographs etc can be traced - I'm looking forward to seeing the embroidery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
