Cardboard fundraising tag 'For France'
c. 1940Overview
Diamond shaped cardboard fundraising tag with a hole at the top through which is threaded cotton for hanging.
It features the blue, white and red colours of the French flag, but in horizontal rather than vertical bands. The central white band has the words 'For France' printed in black.
The reverse is plain.
Historical information
Not a lot is known about this cardboard tag. It was purchased with two Red Cross fundraising tags from 1943, so it is assumed it dates from the same time period.
