Christmas greetings for our soldiers

Right shall prevail

Old times, new thoughts of memories cherished dear. Old friends, new hopes for Christmas and New Year.

British Christmas Card, 1917, WW I

Right shall prevail
Our foes may bend but cannot break
The bow oft stained for freedom's sake.
For Right shall vanquish boasted Might,
True valour keep our honour bright.

By this card we meet again,
Gladsome link in memory's chain;
By this token comes to you
Joyous wishes, greetings true.

Old times, new thoughts, of
Memories cherished dear;
Old friends, new hopes for
Christmas and New Year.
From
M.A. Guest
