  1. Merry Christmas! This card of the Cameron Highlanders, 1918, is on display in Edinburgh, Scotland and I found it on the Scotlands People site. It reminds me that many people in the world are in conflict, as we speak. Let us pray for peace and for our members of the armed forces. Happy New Year, and thank you for the e-newsletter.
