About 10 million embroidered postcards were made in France between 1914 and 1918. Women embroidered the pictures, which were then sent to factories in Paris (which was outside the war zone), where they were glued into the postcards. British soldiers sent them home to their mothers, sweethearts, wives and children. 0327 TSH, 0328 TSH, 0330 TSH, 0331 TSH Bristol Museums Learning Collection
