5929834 Ornamental housewife, c.1867 (housewife) by English School, (19th century); National Army Museum, London; (add.info.: Ornamental housewife, 1867 (c). This housewife was made by Drummer Yeates of the 88th (Connaught Rangers) Regiment of Foot, who was awarded a prize for it at a military workshop exhibition in 1867. Many soldiers who took on needlecraft as a pastime activity became very accomplished. They took great pride in their work, which was often shown in military or industrial exhibitions and displays. This is a beautiful example of embroidery and beadwork that incorporates what was dear to Drummer Yeates: the motifs of Queen and country in the crown and Union Jack at the top; the regimental insignia of the Irish harp and battle honours, and a message of nostalgia for home.); by National Army Museum .
