I have a broach given to my Grandmother, with the the letters. "Patriotic Association of Newfoundland Women". It has a Caribou head in the centre. I asked my mother about it, she is now 99 years of age. She told me her mother received it for knitting socks for the soldiers. Just trying to find out more about it, it sparked my interest more now that we are celebrating 100 years anniversary.
