Leather wallet

Brown leather wallet with fabric and buff leather lining presented as a gift by the Northampton Allied War Fund during Christmas 1917. The gold inscription reads: 'The Seasons Greetings, 1917 from the Northampton Allied War Fund'.

1917
Leather, print

The Northampton Allied War Fund would send letters and gifts to wounded servicemen in hospital. The letter was accompanied by a ‘pocket wallet’ gift. This was given to the serviceman in appreciation of the part they played in the war and hopes that upon leaving hospital and returning to their civic duties they would have pleasant memories of their time in the Northampton district.
