Make your own festive greetings card inspired by First World War Christmas cards at this free family workshop at the National Army Museum. During the First World War, many soldiers spent the Christmas period on service, away from their families and friends and they would send letters and postcards to keep in touch with their loved ones back home. Embroidered silk postcards became hugely popular. Made by unemployed civilians and refugees in war-stricken areas of France and Belgium, they were originally embroidered by hand. Try your hand at embroidery or get creative with fabric pens, using the museum's historic cards as inspiration.
