I have heard that hair clippings of a loved one was a common thing to keep as they were going to war. Then worn to remember someone who didn't come back.
Although this isn't military, it may the same connotations in some way. Simon |

I believe that Queen Victoria sometimes gave small clogs of her hair as mementos to staff
Lee I do not know why my spell checker changed locks to clogs? Last edited by Old Smelly; 06-03-14 at 06:04 PM. |

Now that is interesting and bit strange in equal measure.

They were handed out by his entourage, at his bedside I believe.

I saw an example of a lock of Napoleons hair on the Antique Roadshow. Was valued at a high number too.
In fact I think that when tested, his hair showed that he was ridden with arsenic, they think from the wallpaper, which was one of the additives to the pigment. Simon |
