EDITORS COMMENTS
A heartwarming Christmas greeting from the 56th London Division Territorial Force during the trying times of the First World War. This poignant Christmas card from 1917 features a festive wreath made of holly leaves and green crowns, symbolizing the hope and resilience of the season amidst the hardships of war. The card's background is adorned with key place names from the Western Front where the 56th London Division saw action: Gommecourt, Somme, Arras, and Ypres. These battlefields hold a significant place in the history of the First World War, as some of the most fiercely fought battles took place there. The soldiers of the 56th London Division sent these cards to their loved ones back home as a reminder of their unwavering spirit and their hopes for peace and reunion during the holiday season. This evocative Christmas card offers a glimpse into the sacrifices made by the soldiers and their families during the 1910s, a time of great upheaval and uncertainty in world history.
