Letter
A Christmas Card received from Private John Fisher 1915-16. My mother and John were friends. I have a wonderful collection of letters that were exchanged between my mother and her many friends from Calgary Alberta that fought in the 1st War. These letters are so special as they are the voice of those who bravely fought and the voice of those that dearly cared for them. -
Letter
I have submitted the inside of the card and this is a photo of the outside of the card. -
