With the outbreak of World War One came an increased demand for Christmas cards for soldiers to send to their loved ones and vice versa.

Here at the Fusilier Museum London, we have a wonderful collection of personal items and mementos, from diaries to sweetheart badges. Our collection of Christmas cards, starting from 1915, offer a glimpse into the lives of soldiers from major conflicts.
