About MeEnamelled flower suspended from a bar. The flower has white outer petals and inner red petals. Above this the initials "M R" (probably for Queen Mary) are entwined and surmounted by a crown. The bar is inscribed "Q.M.N.G".

Queen Mary's Needlework Guild originally began as a guild providing clothing for the poor at hospitals and parish institutions. It was renamed Queen Mary's Needlework Guild in 1914 and the First World War was arguably its finist hour, with thousands of items of clothing sent out to troops.
