CarylW Posted 26 December , 2005 Share Posted 26 December , 2005 Caryyl Enlarged as requested. The colours represent the arm bands worn before the units had uniforms. This card was sent to every soldier in these units Christmas 1914. Unfortunately Lord N did not keep this up. Roop Many thanks Roop Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Bailey Posted 26 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 26 December , 2005 (edited) Looks like the quality of the cards got better as the war went on. Some brilliant cards, with 1917 being 'vintage' year. Fantastic. Gunner Bailey Edited 26 December , 2005 by Gunner Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Bailey Posted 27 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 27 December , 2005 Brilliant Mark. That last one is a hoot. Just shows that amid all the horror, the sense of humour shines through. Gunner Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky53 Posted 27 December , 2005 Share Posted 27 December , 2005 Jane That is a very touching card. Many thanks for sharing it. Gunner Bailey Glad you liked it, also have page from Camp magazine. Thinking about it I knew the gentleman in question when I was a child but of course then I knew nothing of his history - shame. Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
