BMSS Christmas Cards
The BMSS Christmas Cards are designs exclusive to the BMSS, but the cards are available for sale to anyone, whether members of the Society or not. The cards from 1991 to 2003 featured specially commissioned paintings by the renowned military artist and Fellow of the BMSS, Bryan Fosten. Following Bryan's retirement, the BMSS has been delighted to have been able to enter into partnerships with the Aldershot Military Museum, the Museum's League of Friends, and the Prince Consort's Library, Aldershot, to publish cards adapted from some wonderful historic images.
