Threads of Connection: Wartime Embroidery, Friday 29 January 12:30pm

 

Presenter: Jane Peek

The Australian War Memorial’s collection of wartime embroidery tells the story of those Australians who went away to fight in war, and their loved ones who stayed behind. Jane Peek, Curator of Military Heraldry and Technology at the Memorial, presents an overview of the embroidery collection.  Items include those made officially for military use, purchased by the soldier-as-tourist and created for patriotic fundraising.
