Christmas Card from Canadian soldier Pte W.A. Green, 5th (Western Cavalry) Battalion CEF to Mrs. A.B. De Long. The card is dated 21 December, 1918 from the Rhine River Region of Germany.
On the side of the envelope, is written "R. Lingford" which may be 12641 Captain R. Lingford. It was written from River Rhine (possibly Oberth), Germany. The card has the copper embossed badge of the 5th Battalion, CEF
Mrs. De Long organized and forwarded parcels to CEF troops who were serving overseas. The letters in this collection date from late 1918 and early 1919. They are thank you letters to her. It appears that all of the recipients lived or still had family in the North Burnaby area.
