Physical Description

A white cotton Fighting Forces Comforts Fund banner with a machine appliquéd large blue cotton "V" in the centre. "Avon F.F.C.F. Unit 424" is hand appliquéd in a deep red cotton fabric across the top of the banner. Below the appliquéd text the cloth has been machine stitched in red cotton to divide it into about 100 more or less equal sections. Names are stitched within each section in dark red thread. The names in the centre of the large blue "V" are of men from the district. Their rank, service number and unit have also been stitched.

Theme and Purpose

World War II. Fighting Forces Comforts Fund. A small plaque beneath the banner reads "Created by the women of Avon 1941".
