EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the reverse of a George V & Queen Mary Christmas card from 1914, which was given to troops in a tin of tobacco and chocolates during World War I. The sailors received a special card with the King in Naval uniform, showcasing the care and thoughtfulness put into spreading holiday cheer during wartime.
The Royal signatures on the back of the card convey heartfelt best wishes for Christmas 1914, serving as a poignant reminder of the humanity that transcends borders even in times of conflict. This small gesture from British officials speaks volumes about their appreciation for the sacrifices made by those serving their country.
As we reflect on this historical artifact, we are reminded of the resilience and camaraderie displayed by individuals facing unimaginable challenges during WWI. The Reverse of George V & Queen Mary Christmas card is not just a piece of memorabilia but a symbol of hope and solidarity amidst chaos.
Holt's Battlefields Collection has preserved this significant piece of history through their photo print, allowing us to connect with the past and honor those who served bravely during one of the darkest periods in modern history.
