WW1 Canadian CEF Homefront Pillowcase Cover 20″ X 20″

The item is a World War I Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) homefront pillowcase cover, measuring 20 inches by 20 inches. During the First World War, such textile items were often produced by relatives or community groups in Canada as tokens of support and remembrance for soldiers serving overseas. This pillowcase cover typically features motifs or insignia associated with the CEF, frequently including regimental crests, national symbols, or patriotic slogans. The materials commonly used consist of cotton or linen, with hand-stitched or embroidered decorations. These covers were intended for use in the home as sentimental reminders of family members in military service. The preservation of such items provides insight into Canadian homefront efforts and domestic morale during the 1914-1918 period. They are valued both as artifacts of personal history and as examples of wartime material culture. This particular example measures 20 inches square, consistent with period standards for decorative pillow covers.
