A detail from an altar frontal at St Paul's Cathedral, which was
stitched by shell-shocked veterans of the First World War. It
is now being restored by the cathedral broderers, and will be
used at a special eucharist on 3 August. It will then form the
focus of an area set aside for the next four years to commemorate
the war. The frontal was made by 133 former soldiers, from
hospitals throughout the country, under the auspices of the Royal
School of Needlework. The cathedral is now trying to contact their
descendants. www.stpauls.co.uk
