Personalized cotton bag

A white cotton drawstring laundry bag belonging to P. Breckenridge, identified by the embroidered service number W63982 in red thread. The bag features a stitched hem with drawstring closure at the top and exhibits light yellowing and minor staining, including a small brownish stain consistent with a blood mark.

The simplicity of the construction and the inclusion of a service number indicate military issue, typical of Second World War Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) or similar auxiliary service kits. Personalized laundry bags like this one were essential for managing clothing and linens in barracks or field accommodations.
