EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2 Christmas card image captures the spirit of resilience and togetherness during a time of great adversity. Circa 1942, a family gathers in their Anderson shelter located in their garden, surrounded by the remnants of a corrugated iron shelter and a proudly displayed Union Jack flag. The festive season brings a sense of normalcy to their wartime existence, as they gather around a small Christmas tree adorned with paper chains and handmade decorations. The children, dressed in their best clothing, smile brightly for the camera, their faces reflecting a sense of happiness and joy despite the challenging circumstances. The mother, with a scarf wrapped around her head as a makeshift turban, prepares a plate of mince pies, while the father, in his military uniform, looks on with pride and affection. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring strength of the human spirit during times of hardship and the importance of family and patriotism in times of war. This historical ephemera, a cherished piece of correspondence from the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the daily life of families during WW2 and the unique ways they celebrated the holiday season amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war.
