Not sure just where he was but somewhere on "the continent", Belgium, Germany, France. Probably wondering if he would ever see his family again. This was a post card he sent home.

Christmas 1917
Christmas 1917 must have been a strange one for my Grandpa Nevard.
Not sure just where he was but somewhere on "the continent", Belgium, Germany, France. Probably wondering if he would ever see his family again. This was a post card he sent home.

Christmas 1936
The Nevards celebrated Christmas at "The Poplars", home to the Ernest Nevard familly. Here is an account of the day from Bill Nevard's journal.
Christmas day. Fairly cold but calm. Everybody assembled at the Poplars for dinner and supper. Aunt Alice actually staying until after supper. We all had some of the plum pudding made by Grandmother Nevard and sent out from England. Also we had Headlands concert graphically described by Joy and Donald and various presents handed around.

And just throwing in another Christmas card. This one from 1917.
