A Treasured Gift from Home: Fortnum & Mason's Thirty Shilling Xmas Box for the Soldiers of World War I This evocative photograph captures the essence of Christmas spirit during the dark days of World War I, as Fortnum & Mason, the quintessential London department store, prepared to send their Thirty Shilling Xmas Box to the front lines. The latest date for dispatch to France was set for 14 December 1917, and those interested could request a war catalogue to peruse the luxurious contents of this special hamper. The Thirty Shilling Xmas Box was a veritable feast for the soldiers, a treat to remind them of the comforts of home. Inside, they would find a fine selection of food, including real turtle soup, roast goose, brandy sauce, and cherries in brandy.
