Collect two embroidered postcards and family photographs from Linda Barraclough of Praze WI. We will put these on display at our Heart of Conflict exhibition, opening at the Cornish Studies Library, Redruth, on February 17 2015.
The postcards were sent home at Christmas and are very touching. Something about the stitched messages to wife and children is so poignant.
Linda has written an account of her grandmother's experiences during the war: at one stage she scrubbed steps in Liverpool (where she lived) to make ends meet.
