EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2 Christmas card from the 1940s is a unique and creative piece of wartime memorabilia. Made from baking parchment material, the illustration features a marching line of holly leaves with red berries as the heads of soldiers, complete with tin hats and satchels. The whimsical design captures the spirit of Christmas during a time of conflict, offering a touch of holiday cheer to those serving overseas.
During World War II, sending Christmas cards was an important way for families to stay connected and boost morale among troops. This particular card showcases the creativity and ingenuity that people used to spread joy during difficult times. The use of holly leaves as soldier's heads adds a festive twist to this wartime greeting, reminding recipients that even in times of war, there is still room for celebration and hope.
As we look back on this piece of history, we are reminded of the resilience and strength shown by individuals during WWII. The Holly Soldiers Christmas card serves as a poignant reminder that even in the darkest moments, light can still shine through in unexpected ways.
