EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2 Christmas card from the 911 Squadron of the Royal Air Force is a delightful reminder of the lighter moments during wartime. The illustration on the card features a series of four erected barrage balloons, which were used as a defense against enemy aircraft. However, one balloon stands out among the rest - it is comically shaped like a pig, adding a touch of humor to an otherwise serious subject.
The date on this Christmas greetings card is 1939, just at the beginning of World War II. It serves as a poignant memento from that time period, showcasing both the creativity and camaraderie of those serving in the armed forces.
The image captures not only the spirit of Christmas but also highlights the ingenuity and lightheartedness that helped soldiers cope with the challenges they faced during wartime. This unique piece of history offers us a glimpse into how individuals found ways to bring joy and laughter even in difficult circumstances.
As we reflect on this vintage print, let us remember all those who served bravely during World War II and honor their resilience and sacrifice. May this whimsical WW2 Christmas card serve as a reminder of hope and unity during times of adversity.
