dancingraisin Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm home sick and bored so I am cruising the web. I was charmed by this piece on Slate and thought many of you would enjoy it, too. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_vault/2013/09/11/sweetheart_pincushions_british_soldiers_turned_to_embroidery_during_wwi.html Cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 this is one of those stories that should be kept alive. In all the time since the war/wars, I've not heard it even once. So thoughtful and loving of the guys, and the same for the gals, of course. Thanks for Sharing and giving us a fresh look at giving under very hard times.
