EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the trenches of World War One, where soldiers found solace in a momentary respite during the festive season. The image showcases a remarkable Christmas card sent by members of the Hallamshire Battalion in 1918, serving as a poignant reminder of their unwavering spirit amidst unimaginable hardships.
