Sewing for the Red Cross, Refugees, destitute Belgians 1915
A page from July 1915 school magazine lists the various societies pupils supported by making clothes. The garments were sent weekly to the Red Cross,the Sailors' Institute, Queen Mary's Needlework Guild,the Zenana Mission (for Indian soldiers wounded or at the Front),local territorials and refugees in Aberystwyth, Barmouth and Dolgelley and also to destitute Belgians left in their own devastated country.
Socks seem to have been in demand, judging by this page.
