Physical Description

A white linen cloth with a 4cm white lace edge framed behind glass. In the centre is a blue circle with a red cross in the centre. Inside the red cross the names are stitched in red and in the blue circle stitched in blue. In the top right corner is a smaller blue outlined circle with signatures also in blue. In the top left corner is a cross outlined in red with red signatures. At the top centre is a pink satin stitched rectangle with the text 'March 1943 to November'. 'March' is in pink, '1943' in salmon and 'to November' is in pale pink. Around these defined spaces multicoloured signatures are stitched. Names worked in red within the 2 red crosses are names of returned servicemen from World War I, 1914-1918 (42 names). Names worked in blue within the 2 blue circles were service men and women from World War II (114 names). All other names were members of the general public (436 names). There is a total of 592 names.

Theme and Purpose

Fighting Forces Comforts Fund. World War II. Fundraiser. From display label: 'The idea of the cloth was to raise money for the Fighting Forces Comforts Fund during the 1939-45 war. A cost of sixpence (five cents) was charged to write your name on the cloth which was worked over later with different coloured thread. The cloth was worked between March and November 1943 and was sold by auction sale in November. The money raised was for the Fighting Forces Fund so whatever price you bid you donated to the fund. The final bid went to Mr E M Murray formerly of Petherton, Mt Bryan for One Hundred and Ten Guineas (231.00). Mr Murray then generously donated the cloth back to Hazel Edwards. The amount raised for the fund was over One Thousand Pounds (2,000.00) - the base weekly wage at that time was approximately 3 Pounds ($6.00)'.
