NO! probably not the ones you may have been thinking of :D.

These were sent from France by my Grandfather on the birth of my Mother in 1915 and for two other Birthdays. the Royal Engineers one is most likely one just brought back from France.
 
They are all lovely both of you. I have a silk embroidere hanky still in its wrappings. Will sort it out and scan it. bye. Jean.
 
The cards are just beautiful. I used to do a lot of embroidery when I was young. I really appreciate you both posting these for us to see.
 
It took me a second to realize the card are embroidered, they are beautiful and the colors are still so bright, just wonderful thanks for post them annie

I found one of those at my nan's it was sent by my Great Grandfather in the war, it was very touching to find it as he'd died in the war, and it was probably the only thing left with his handwriting on
 
Found this in nans tin today. It says to mom with love from your loving son Norman. I think it is silk and hand embroidered. TTFN. Jean.
