EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Heartwarming Christmas Greeting from the 32nd Division, December 1918 The Christmas card depicted here is a poignant and uplifting reminder of the holiday spirit that prevailed amongst the soldiers of the British 32nd Division following the end of the First World War in November 1918. Produced by the renowned artist H.L. Oakley, this card was distributed to the members of the division in December of that year. The design features a group of soldiers, their faces beaming with joy and relief, gathered around a table adorned with a festive tablecloth and a Christmas tree in the background. The soldiers, affectionately known as "Tommies," are seen sharing a moment of camaraderie and cheer, their uniforms bearing the marks of their arduous experiences on the battlefield. The overall effect is one of resilience, unity, and optimism in the face of the unimaginable hardships they had endured. The card's title, "We're Still Smiling," serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the soldiers and their ability to find joy and hope even in the most challenging of circumstances. The image stands as a powerful reminder of the human capacity for endurance and the importance of maintaining a sense of connection and community, especially during times of adversity. This Christmas card, produced by H.L. Oakley for the 32nd Division in December 1918, is an invaluable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the emotions and experiences of the soldiers during the holiday season following the conclusion of the First World War. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit and the importance of cherishing the moments of joy and connection that bring us together, even in the most trying of times.
