A Unique Christmas Greeting from the Mesopotamian Front: A World War One Era Soldier at The Landing Stage, Ahvaz, Iran This intriguing postcard, dated circa 1916, offers a rather unusual Christmas greeting from the Mesopotamian front during World War One. The image features a British soldier, standing proudly in a patriotic pose, with the inset view of the Landing Stage at Ahvaz, Iran, in the background. The city of Ahvaz, located in the southwest of Iran and the capital of Khuzestan province, is depicted in the background through the inset view of the riverside and waterfront. The soldier, dressed in his military uniform, holds a rifle in one hand and waves a Union Jack flag with the other, symbolizing his unwavering loyalty and commitment to his country. The Landing Stage at Ahvaz, with its numerous boats and ships, is bustling with activity, reflecting the strategic importance of this location during the war. The flags of various nations, including the British and Persian flags, flutter in the wind, highlighting the multinational presence in the region. The use of the Landing Stage as a backdrop adds a unique touch to this Christmas card, reminding us of the unusual circumstances under which many soldiers spent the festive season during the war. The image evokes a sense of resilience and determination, as the soldier stands strong amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. This postcard is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the holiday season and the enduring spirit of patriotism that carried them through even the most challenging of times.
