EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Christmas and New Year card, produced for the XII Division during the First World War in 1917-1918, offers a poignant reminder of the soldiers' experiences during the holiday season amidst the harsh realities of the battlefield. The intricately detailed topographical print depicts various key locations where the XII Division saw action, including Loos, Quarries, Hohenzollern Redoubt, Somme, Ovillers, Pozieres, Arras, and Monchy. The XII Division, also known as the 'Welsh' Division, was a British infantry formation that served with distinction throughout the war. The soldiers in this division came primarily from Wales and the English Midlands. The card's design reflects the division's rich history and the camaraderie that sustained them through the challenges they faced. The card's image showcases a snow-covered landscape, with soldiers gathered around a makeshift Christmas tree, exchanging gifts and sharing a moment of respite from the horrors of war. In the background, the battle-scarred terrain of the Western Front is visible, with the ruins of buildings and the skeletal remains of trees serving as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict. The card's inscription reads, "With the compliments and good wishes of the Officers, Warrant Officers, and Soldiers of the XII Division, for Christmas and the New Year, 1917-1918." This heartfelt message underscores the importance of unity and hope during a time of great hardship and adversity. This commemorative art piece provides a unique glimpse into the past, offering a poignant and powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the XII Division during the First World War.
