As the season to be jolly is rapidly approaching yet again,

I thought it was about time I shared, some Christmas cards from the R N D

in the great war,

the 1st 2 photos are my favourite card which was printed in 1916

the next 3 photos are also from 1916, but from the internment camp H M S TIMBERTOWN

in GRONINGEN HOLLAND,

the 3rd card was printed in 1917 and has an interesting cartoon inside ,

the 4th one from the divisions chaplains was the last in 1918,

what they do show is the sense of humour amidst all that death and destruction,

a semblance of humanity could still be seen ,

through humour, thank you lads for all my Christmases,

in the past and future.........................................
