EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Christmas card image is a poignant reminder of the holiday season during the final days of World War I. The 68th Divisional Signal Company, Royal Engineers, is depicted gathered around a table adorned with festive decorations, as they take a break from their duties to celebrate the holiday. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, appear to be in high spirits, with some laughing and others engaged in conversation. The card bears the title "Bungay, Xmas 1918 - The Last Line" and was produced by the Commemorative Art Company, likely as a keepsake for the soldiers and their families. The 68th Divisional Signal Company was an essential unit in the British military during World War I, responsible for maintaining communication lines between various units on the battlefield. Their role was crucial in ensuring the smooth coordination of military operations, particularly during the final stages of the war when the Allies were making their final push towards victory. The card's title, "The Last Line," suggests that this was the last Christmas the soldiers would spend in the trenches before the war's end. The image captures a moment of respite and camaraderie amidst the chaos and hardships of war. The card's production and distribution likely served as a source of comfort and connection for the soldiers and their loved ones, reminding them of the holiday spirit and the hope for a peaceful future. This beautiful and historic print offers a unique glimpse into the experiences of the soldiers during the final days of World War I, making it an invaluable addition to any military history or Christmas collection.
