A Musical Photo Story

Christmas 1943 ... the World was at war!

Families were torn apart. Loved ones separated. No one ever really knew when they said goodbye if they would ever see one another again. It was a time when so many people could only dream about being together and being home for Christmas.

Australian born artist and author Sylvia Harvey (Just for Kl!cks! and Playmofriends) is now living in Scotland. A country that remembers only too well those heart breaking times. Sylvia has created a poignant photo-story that captures the emotions and the disruptions of that Christmas of seventy years ago. We are very fortunate indeed here at GW to be able to bring you Sylvia's touching photo-story.

Note: "I'll Be Home For Christmas" was written by Walter Kent, Kim Gannon and Buck Ram in 1943 and first recorded by Bing Crosby (Decca 18570) with the John Scott Trotter Orchestra in that year. Crosby's recording reached # 3 on Billboard's Best-Selling Singles chart and sold over a million copies.
