Christmas cards - Police & Fire Brigade

[219PG]

While collecting Met police photo's e.t.c I sometimes get other bits and pieces along with purchases like the attached. A London Fire Brigade & Auxiliary Fire Service Christmas card dated 1940.

During 1940 - 41 they were bravely battling to save London from fires caused during the blitz.

Anyone got any other old Christmas cards from Police Forces or Fire services tucked away.

Happy Christmas
