Framed Prints From Memory Lane
Framed Print of Princess Mary Christmas Gift Tin. In November 1914, an advertisement was placed in
Princess Mary Christmas Gift Tin. In November 1914, an advertisement was placed in the national press inviting monetary contributions to a Sailors and Soldiers Christmas Fund, which had been created by Princess Mary, the 17 year old Daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. The purpose was to provide everyone who would be wearing the Kings uniform on Christmas Day 1914 with a gift from the nation'.
The response was truly overwhelming, and it was decided to spend the money on an embossed brass tin box, based on a design by Messrs Adshead and Ramsey. The contents varied considerably - Officers and Men On Active Service afloat or at the Front received a tin containing a combination of pipe, tinder lighter, 1 ounce of tobacco and 20 cigarettes in distinctive yellow monogrammed wrappers.
Non-smokers and boys received a bullet pen/pencil, a packet of acid tablets and a khaki writing case. Indian troops often received sweets and spices, whilst hospital nurses, who were included as recipients, were treated to chocolate. Many of these items were despatched separately from the boxes themselves.
