Story of a Red Cross

When I last visited my military Surplus supplier looking for interesting post war vintage whilst browsing row upon row of aisles stuffed full of anything from old parachutes to iron cups I spied a box of these red crossed throws. Immediately I fell in love with the concept of them as I love anything with a cross on it…I always loved SwissAir purely for it’s logo for instance! Anyway I immediately bought a box home with me and set about adding my badge log and name embroidered in bright red in the corner. These are something that would look cool draped across a chair or as a beach towel or a bedspread. They are all an off -white colour and each one is slightly different..the ravages of time have not been cruel..even though the reason they were made was not for peace….
