Christmas Card

Hi David,

Here is the Christmas card as promised.  Printed inside it has H Q Land Forces Hong Kong and it was sent at Christmas 1954.  There is nothing to indicate who the printers were but I think it's rather attractive, it was sent to my parents and me by my late husband.

1912: Farewell to the Queue

These photos (and their titles!) have an unlikely source - they come from The King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry's Christmas cards, 1912.

Why would a British infantryman be sending photos of Chinese gentlemen to his family and friends?
