bobgee Posted November 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2018 This is an embroidered memorial to a French soldier who died for his country in April 1915. Apparently done by a cousin it incorporates a photo of the soldier in full uniform and includes his medals - the Medaille Militaire and the 1915 Croix de Guerre. Regrettably it does not include his name or unit. These memorial embroideries were fairly common for the period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted November 7, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2018 Amazing piece! I love it! No name even on the back? I'm always telling Mom to mark pictures and family items. Write it on the back, engrave it on the bottom . . . anything! I'm all for marking things! Does it say "Fait par Lemoine A." on the bottom? Embroidered who made it, but not the vet's name. -sigh- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamski Posted March 8, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 8, 2019 That is pretty cool! Sad that his name isn't on it. Check the back of the embroidery? With something like that, I would swap out frames and put it into a UV protected one. I did that for a Japanese Great White Fleet embroidery. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
