The Christmas card sent in 1943 by Prime Minister Mackenzie King to Rifleman Kenneth Pifher of Paris, Ont., when he was a prisoner of war in a Japanese prison camp. Pifher, now 91, gave the card to Prime Minister Stephen Harper at a Remembrance Day ceremony in Hong Kong on Nov. 11, 2012. It was then donated to the War Museum.
