Teddy Bear
Treasured keepsakes: Ten-year-old Aileen Rogers sent this teddy bear to her father, hoping that it would keep him safe. Following Lawrence Rogers’ death at Passchendaele, soldiers found the teddy bear in his pocket. It was returned to the Rogers family. This memento served as a precious link to the husband and father the family would never see again. -
