A Festive Tradition: Pudding for the Army - A Historical Christmas Custom This evocative image captures the unique and intriguing tradition of 'Pudding for the Army' during the late 19th century. The soldiers, dressed in their full regalia, proudly escort a large Christmas pudding, complete with decorative holly and ivy, through the streets. The drummer leads the way, his drum providing a rhythmic beat that signaled the start of the festive procession. The custom of Pudding for the Army originated in the British Army during the Victorian era. The soldiers, often away from their families during the holiday season, would be treated to a special Christmas pudding as part of their festivities. The pudding was traditionally prepared by the regimental cook or the wives of the officers and was then escorted through the town or camp, accompanied by a drummer, to the sound of festive music. The soldiers would form a guard of honor, saluting the pudding as it passed by. This tradition not only provided a morale boost for the troops but also served as a symbol of community spirit and the enduring connection between the military and the people they served to protect. This photograph, taken in the 1880s, offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and the rich history of Christmas customs. The soldiers' determined expressions and the proud bearing of the pudding, adorned with festive decorations, add to the sense of occasion and the spirit of the season. A truly captivating image that transports us back in time and offers a unique insight into the traditions and customs of the past.
