Default Merry Christmas

As Christmas Day is rapidly approaching, please accept my best wishes to you all for a ‘Very Merry Christmas & a fruitful New Year’ . May 2020 bring you those elusive items for your collections. May I say also a huge ‘Thank You’ to all members who have gone out of their way to provide help, guidance & information throughout the year as well as friendship. It has been much appreciated by myself. The following is a very small Christmas card which was sent by a young girl to a soldier on the front line at Christmas in 1914. It was real delight to find it in such good condition at 105 years old.

Default Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year

Thanks for all the help , advice (and tolerance) . As a novice collector I appreciate being accepted even when I make stupid/uninformed posts.

Have 3 British Legion Christmas cards ( 1935/1936/1937 ) , thought this one appropriate.

Cheers

Mike V

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

Thank you all for welcoming me here and for your invaluable help, advice and patience re the badges and buttons I needed to find, and for assisting me in acquiring the items themselves.

And apologies if I’ve driven any of you nuts with my constant questions 🤐
