Sally says: “It was a common occurrence in that period that wives and girlfriends would give teddy bears to their loved ones going off to war, as something to remember them by. I thought it would be fitting for each of the 37 soldiers of Littleover to have a bear created especially for them. Each one has a tag with that soldier’s name on and is unique in colour, size, style and personality; just like human beings, and no two are identical.”
