EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment from Christmas 1914 during the First World War. The image features a beautifully preserved Princess Mary's Christmas Tin from that year, with one original packet of tobacco and a briar pipe in two halves. The tin, a commemorative ware item, bears the image of Princess Mary, the daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, who organized the distribution of these tins to British and Allied forces serving on the Western Front. The inclusion of the tobacco packet and pipe underscores the significance of these items as morale boosters for the troops during the harsh conditions of the war. The Princess Mary Christmas Card, also shown in the photograph, further adds to the historical context of this poignant scene. The original items in this photograph have been carefully preserved, providing a tangible connection to the past and a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The Princess Mary Christmas Tin, produced in 1914, is a cherished piece of military history. The tin's simple yet elegant design, with its royal crest and the inscription "From Princess Mary to the officers and men serving in the Field. Christmas 1914," has made it an iconic symbol of the holiday season during the war. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the spirit of camaraderie and resilience that sustained the troops during the darkest days of the First World War.
