trajan Posted 28 April , 2017 Share Posted 28 April , 2017 I saw this article a couple of days ago, featuring the story of Albert Biggs MM and his rehabilitation, plus other aspects of rehabilitation for wounded Australian soldiers, but it does not seem to have been picked up here - if it has then blame the search engine for my not finding it! Anyway, here its is: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/apr/25/how-embroidery-therapy-helped-first-world-war-veterans-find-a-common-thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 28 April , 2017 Share Posted 28 April , 2017 (edited) Thanks for posting the link. Embroidery was used as "occupational therapy" by the British as well. This one was done by a Rifle Brigade soldier after he was released from a POW camp and repatriated after the war. The odd letter in the battle honours is back to front.

MaureenE Posted 28 April , 2017 Share Posted 28 April , 2017 (edited) Embroidery by soldiers had a history in the British Army. This Victorian Wars Forum topic has some interesting comments and examples of work by FROGSMILE of this Forum http://www.victorianwars.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=6628&p=27146 Cheers Maureen Edit: Archived link https://web.archive.org/web/20170428085703/http://www.victorianwars.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=6628&p=27146 Edited 27 August , 2019 by Maureene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
