Additional Information
This item has been published online with the permission of the Museum of Wimbledon. This online collection represents a small sample of the First World War items held by the museum.
This leaflet from June 1916 explains the aims of the Silver Thimble Fund, which was administered by Miss Hope-Clarke and Lady Maud Wilbraham. In less than a year, they had raised about £7,000 which enabled the purchase of three ambulances, a motor disinfector and four motor hospital launches.
