WWI Reminder

Looking through some old boxes with my grandson and found this. My husband's grandfather was an engineer, munitions, in the First World War. I'm investigating the origin of this, was it something he got as a soldier? Did someone make it for him?
What a precious heirloom Kim, two things spring to mind a gift from a loved one, or more possibly something made by your husband's grand father himself, there are lots of examples of items of embroidery produced whilst world war one soldiers were wounded to help with thier recovery:)

@pcoulson Thanks, Peter! He was indeed wounded and spent several weeks in hospital recovering. That would be amazing if he actually made it himself!
