100 hearts for 100 years is the theme of commemorations by SSAFA to mark WW1.
As the UK’s oldest military charity, it recreated the wartime tradition of making heart-shaped pin cushions which soldiers sent to their loved ones.
This touring exhibition will form part of “A Stitch in time” the exhibition in the Cumbria Museum of Military Life. The exhibition will feature the 100 Hearts and the Museum’s own collection focusing on the themes of recuperation, remembrance and repair.
