The January meeting brought together lots of inspiration and ideas for making a heart which could have a great deal of personal significance, as so many families lost at least one young man during the conflict.
Here is some of the memorabilia which was available at the meeting:-
These were kindly lent to us by the Manchester Regiment Museum, based in Ashton-under-Lyne and comprised lots of thought-provoking items. Have a closer look at the silk postcards:
The soldiers sent these home from France and sometimes, like in the second postcard, they formed an envelope containing a card on which the soldier could write a message to a loved one.
For those who have registered to take part in the project, you should receive your instructions and package of materials by the end of February.
