This quilt was created by the 9th Division of the Bruce County Preparedness League (Solway) and the Solway Red Cross Society during the First World War. It was later purchased by Stephen Brocklebank at a Brant Hospital Auxiliary sale. The Brant Hospital Aid began in 1903 to raise funds for the building of a County hospital and later maintained a room there. |
