Description: | Cream leather clutch bag with coloured Egyptian motifs embossed on the front, back and inner front. The bag closes with a press stud fastening and there is a leather handle attached diagonally to the back. Inside there is an elasticated pocket, made in the same cream silky fabric as the flap and back lining, which holds a small matching mirror. There is a central reinforced zipped section, in the same cream fabric as the lining to the front of the bag. The bag was a present from Joseph Cunningham to his mother and he has written his greeting in green ink in the top left corner of the flap and her name and address in the top right corner. In the bag, his mother kept letters, photographs and other wartime memorabilia from her son's time spent in the Middle East, serving with the Green Howards during WW2. (items TWCMS 2010.2549 to 2010.2570).
