EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Christmas card is a poignant reminder of the support and solidarity shown to Australian servicemen serving abroad during World War I. Dated 1916, the card was sent out by the Australian War Contingent Association based in London. The Association organized the distribution of gift boxes to Australian soldiers on the front lines, along with these heartfelt holiday greetings. The card features a charming illustration of a koala bear scaling a flagpole, with the Australian flag unfurling above. The koala, a beloved symbol of Australia, adds a touch of home and nostalgia to the card. The caption below reads, "Christmas Greetings from the Australian War Contingent Association, London." The ANZAC spirit of mateship and camaraderie was strong during this time, and the Association's efforts to bring a piece of home to the troops served to boost morale and remind them of the love and support they had back in Australia. The card's simple yet powerful message of hope and connection resonated deeply with the soldiers, who were far from their families and loved ones during the holiday season. This card is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Australian servicemen during World War I, and the enduring bond between the Australian people and their military. The card's enduring appeal continues to resonate with us today, as we reflect on the spirit of Christmas and the importance of connection and support during challenging times.
