An image of the bag is on our collection database - you may have already come across it. If not, you can find it by searcing the name Eedy, or the accession number REL29669 in the search screen (http://www.awm.gov.au/search/collections/ ). We also hold Mrs Eedy's Female Relatives Badge (REL29667) and Mothers and Widows Badge (REL29668) in the National Collection and you can see photographs of them on our collections database too.

We knew that a relative of ours had donated objects to the AWM some years ago, but it was so great to read a whole blog post about them and how they were made. William Ferrier and of course Peter, George, Ronald, Neil and Eleanora Mary are all relatives of ours. William Ferrier is my great, great grandfather. Thank you Dianne. Can't wait to see what else we can find out! Hi Dianne,

Unfortunately our little lizard (in the snake mouth) has lost its legs! Although it still looks pretty good despite that fact. I love all the snakes, even the really small ones (the smallest I saw was around 37 cm long). The large ones though are so impressive, especially when in good condition, and have an impressive weight to them. It is great to hear about other examples of them.

Mine is black bodied, with coloured diamonds on the back, a white belly with the date and Turkish Prisoner of War. The lizard is mainly green but has been beautifully made to with bead design work. I love it! My relative was given it by a Turkish chap he stood guard over.
