A Cigar Box full of Christmas Cards
Recently this Cigar box full of Military Christmas cards has come into my possession. They all came from my great grandparents one of which served in the Royal Navy most of his life and was lucky enough to have served aboard the Hood long before the war. So that's where I'm guessing most of the Naval connections came from. Etheir that or my Grandfather who worked on the Ilse of wight ship to shore From the war into the 50's. there is quite a few of these and a few of them have images inside which is nice. Some are from before the war, and a few are from the second but a majority are from just Post as far as I'm aware. Hopefully I will be able to scan all of these in when I get the time, but for now I will just take some pictures. I will also try to make a list of all the different Ships, regiments etc they have come from
