Souvenir - French Handkerchief, c. 1914 - 1950
Little to nothing is noted/known regarding the object. Australian nurses were in France during WW1 and WW2, [Though Australian nurses in France during WW2 seems less documented], the fabric suggests being older than younger, however it is hard to date explicitly. Though not explicitly linked to nursing, Australia or which war period it is from, the handkerchief itself is in great condition and could illuminate the roles of Australian nurses in France. Square, white-to-cream, silky, cotton handkerchief with lace trim and purple, green, yellow and mauve embroidery. 'Souvenir de France' france, ww1, wwi -
