Historic Christmas Card Displayed at Canadian War Museum
Card from Prime Minister King to a Canadian PoW in 1943 is on display for the holiday season.

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.
