EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant Christmas card dates back to the winter of 1916 during World War I. The card was sent from the 11th Division, specifically from the British Upper Silesian Artillery, stationed in Crieff, Scotland. The sender, whose identity remains unknown, extends heartfelt Christmas greetings to 'Dear Grannie.' The message is written in a neat hand, beneath which the date '24.12.16' is inscribed. The card bears a commemorative art design, symbolizing the spirit of carrying on amidst the challenges of the war. The background shows soldiers in the trenches, a stark reminder of the harsh realities of the battlefield. The use of the term 'commemorative art' suggests that this card was likely produced specifically for the troops to send home as a keepsake. The image of soldiers in the trenches during the holiday season serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the military personnel during the First World War. This historical artifact offers a glimpse into the personal experiences of those who served and the enduring bond between soldiers and their families during times of conflict.
