1. Title: "A Soldier's Relief in the Trenches: Princess Mary's Christmas Gift of 1914 - A Tin of Cigarettes and a Personal Message This evocative image showcases a poignant piece of military history from the First World War, featuring Princess Mary's Christmas tin from 1914, accompanied by two opened packs of cigarettes and a Christmas card. All items are original and in authentic condition. During the Christmas season of 1914, as the First World War raged on, Princess Mary, the daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, organized a fundraising campaign to provide a small Christmas gift to every British soldier on the front lines. The result was the iconic "Princess Mary's Christmas Gift Fund," which distributed over 2.5 million tins filled with cigarettes, tobacco, and other small items to the soldiers. This photograph captures the essence of the soldiers' gratitude and relief as they opened their Christmas gifts from home. The tin, adorned with the royal crest, is slightly worn and dented, reflecting the harsh conditions of the battlefield. One packet of cigarettes has been opened and only one cigarette remains, while the other packet lies untouched. The presence of the Christmas card adds a personal touch, reminding us of the human connection that endured amidst the chaos and hardships of war. This commemorative ware is not only a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of the soldiers but also a significant piece of historical artifact from the Christmas Truce of 1914, a brief period of peace and goodwill between the Allied and German forces.
