| Description: A temporary Derbyshire well dressing display traditionally made from flowers and other vegetation pressed into clay held in a wooden frame but now often utilising stones, beads, fabric etc. The dressing comprised a recessed central panel surrounded by an arch, all enclosed within a covered shelter. The central panel depicted a full colour scene of a Red Cross field ambulance with a medical team dealing with a casualty and another infantryman standing nearby. In the background a biplane was flying by. An outer border in pale green contained depictions of various medals and the main text in black upright sentence case lettering. The arch contained a variety of images including the Red Cross, red poppies, crossed rifles and a steel helmet. Glossary |
