This doll is from the Red Cross records and came into the conservation lab to receive custom housing. Here it is in its new box. The label explains that the doll was handmade by a soldier wounded in the Crimean War. The doll was presented to Queen Victoria and was later won in a raffle by an American Red Cross nurse in 1918.
