Guest Posted 25 December , 2010 Share Posted 25 December , 2010 I found this one ' googling ' HERE Goodwill to all men (and dogs)? " Greetings from Royal Artillery XIII Corps, Christmas 1917 (Christmas card) This Christmas card was sent by RGC Wellesley ‘with best wishes for 1918’. Note the daschund – much derided during the war as a ‘Hun’ dog – being blown out of this German trench. By 1917, there were over eight million letters being sent home each week from British soldiers on the Western Front. " Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high wood Posted 25 December , 2010 Author Share Posted 25 December , 2010 Excellent card Mike and one I have not seen before. There must be literally hundreds of different Christmas cards from the Great War. I will post a few more from my modest collection. 19th Division. Drawn by Heath-Robinson. I am not sure what his connection with the 19th Division was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high wood Posted 26 December , 2010 Author Share Posted 26 December , 2010 Thank you; it is the fruit of many years of collecting. The Divisional cards are not particularly scarce but are getting harder to find and the prices are going up. Some of the brigade and unit cards are a little rarer. I am hoping that others will be added to the thread by other collectors. 48th Division, 1918, sent from Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
