Physical Description
An ecru linen cloth with four large red and blue 'Vs' surrounded by signatures. One 'V' fills each corner of the square cloth. The signatures are embroidered in red, white and blue cotton thread. The V in each corner is worked in chain stitch. The signatures are stitched in stem stitch. The title, ‘Uraidla & District Hospital 1942’, is worked in satin stitch in red cotton thread. The cloth is framed and mounted behind glass.
Theme and Purpose
Fundraiser for the Uraidla and District Hospital. In 1942, the annual ball of the hospital was held on Saturday 15th August. A tablecloth with the signatures of 311 people was the fundraising cloth for the candidature of Mr Sitters for the King competition at the ball. Mr Sitters raised £43 15,3 altogether. Mrs Sitters, who presumably stitched the cloth, presented it to Matron J Edwards, who accepted the cloth on behalf of the hospital.
