One Hundred Years Of Gratitude - Happy New Year
As we commemorate the centenary of the start of WWI, here is the Christmas card, sent 100 years ago from my Gt. Grandfather John to his daughter, my Granny, Mary.

So sad.
Happy new year Ellen. Thanks for reading, and thanks for your comments - a few of them ended up in wrong place, but I found and retrieved them! Govan is in another period of transition, not always good. But we've been there before, haven't we?
Happy New Year Lady Govan! I've been commenting using my tablet in the past but then the comments disappeared - goodness knows where! I gave up with the tablet!
A great sacrafice!
What was your great grandfather's surname?
Loved reading this. I think as we get older, these souvenirs of the past become even more precious.
