A former Australian Army Sergeant has created a series of limited edition wall hangings to raise money for the Albury RSL Sub-Branch and Wodonga RSL's veteran support services.
Albury resident and military historian Jan Townsend displayed her powerful military wall hangings 'World War One', 'Women at War' and 'Vietnam' at Cafe Borellas in East Albury on Friday.
She said she used quilting techniques to create the 100 per cent wall hangings.
