World War I pillow cover

This November, to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice of 1918 on November 11th, we will be sharing objects from World War I that are on display in the War Years Remembered Exhibit on the second floor of the Heritage Museum.

WWI Pillow Cover. WDHM1982.009.013

The unfinished cotton pillowcase pictured here is an example of efforts on the Home Front. Women would sew patriotic items such as this “We’re Ready” pillowcase, often sending them to the boys on the front line. The item can be dated to the First World War (or later) by the inscription of 1914 on the flag staff. The fact that is unfinished may indicate that the war ended before it was completed. This pillowcase is one of the earliest items in our collection. It was donated by Anna Forsman of Good Shepard Lutheran Home, and added into our collection in 1982, four years before the Wetaskiwin and District Museum Society was officially incorporated on May 20th 1986.
