EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases an intricately embroidered badge of the British Red Cross, adorned with the symbol of the crimson cross on a white background. The badge is accompanied by a scroll inscribed with the phrase "Canny Auld Cumberland." This commemorative art piece holds significant historical value, as it was likely produced during the time of the First World War (WW1) or the interwar period. The Red Cross was an essential organization during times of conflict, providing vital medical and humanitarian assistance to soldiers and civilians alike. The phrase "Canny Auld Cumberland" is a reference to Cumberland, an historic county in northern England. The term "canny" is a Scottish and Northern English term meaning shrewd, clever, or knowing. This badge and scroll combination may have been given as a token of appreciation or as a memento for those who served in the military or medical services from the region. This beautiful piece of commemorative art is a testament to the courage and resilience of those who lived through the tumultuous times of WWI and the interwar period. Its intricate embroidery and poignant inscription make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or military memorabilia.
