EDITORS COMMENTS
This rare and historic print captures the George V & Queen Mary Christmas Card from 1914, a poignant reminder of the spirit of giving during wartime. The card was distributed to troops in a tin of tobacco and chocolates, bringing a touch of holiday cheer to those serving far from home.
In this image, King George V is depicted in his naval uniform, reflecting his role as Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces during World War I. Queen Mary stands by his side, exuding grace and strength as she supports her husband and the troops fighting for their country.
During a time of great uncertainty and sacrifice, gestures like these Christmas cards served as symbols of hope and solidarity among soldiers on the front lines. Sailors also received their own version with the King dressed in Naval attire, further emphasizing the unity across different branches of service.
As we look back on this piece of history through Holt's Battlefields Collection, we are reminded not only of the hardships faced during wartime but also of the resilience and camaraderie that sustained those who served. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of George V & Queen Mary's support for their troops during one of Britain's most challenging periods.
