Date(s): 18/01/2010 - 18/12/2010
The Museum is delighted to have an object included in The History of the World BBC & British Museum Project. It is a needlework box made by Christoph, a German prisoner of war who had been captured in Russia, sent to America, then transported back to a PoW camp in Tonbridge, Kent. From the camp he went with a colleague, Herman, to live on a farm at Chiddingstone Hoath. Here they worked alongside Peggy Chapman. The farmer gave ’the boys’ pocket money which they handed over to Peggy to buy ’civvie’ clothes for them at Walthamstow Market. Christoph gave the box to Peggy at Christmas 1948. It can be seen in the Museum.
