Soldier Bear Bernard Wood

Private Bernard Wood was a Soldier during WW1. He was killed in action on 22/05/1916. This bear is named after him.

Soldier Bear Bernard is made from red mohair and is fully cotter pin jointed. He has brown glass eyes and a stitched, waxed nose and is stuffed with Kapok. He has steel shot in his body for added weight and I have plucked, shaded and waxed him to look "well loved" He wears a red/white/blue ribbon with a "Hope" charm attached by a rusty old pin.
