Aldergrove and her communities have always been ready to step up in times of need, and WW2 was no exception. The ladies formed a Red Cross unit in each district - Aldergrove, Coghlan, County Line, Otter and Patricia - and even though it was a time of rationing and belt tightening, these ladies continued to bake, sew, knit and organize fundraisers, giving freely of their time and talents. Today's post features a very small sampling of the efforts put forth by Aldergrove's ladies of the Red Cross.
The second image features the knitting pattern for Red Cross Army Socks, and we humbly ask that if there are any knitters viewing this page, if she (or he) would be willing to knit a pair of these socks for us to place in the military section of our exhibits. Credit will be noted in the display. =)
