One piece I found interesting Corporal Cliff Gatenby was captured on Crete. In Stalag 383 he covered his army issue blanket with embroidery for something to do, although he had never sewn before. He began by sewing his name and number on a corner of the blanket, followed by a kangaroo. Thread came from old pullovers, socks, scarves and towels. By the end of the ware the blanket was entirely covered and included scenes of his camp and his service in the Middle East.
