During WW1 silk postcards and handkerchiefs were popular purshases as souveniers for Australian soldiers who were serving on the Western Front. Local French and Belgium women embroidered the different motifs onto strips of silk mesh with as many as 25 individual pieces of embroidery. The completed strips were sent to factories for cutting and mounting on postcards. There were two kinds of cards, one was a piece of embroidered silk mounted onto a card and the other was two pieces of silk sewn and mounted to form a pocket to contain a message or a silk handkerchief.
