EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement from 1915 showcases Frederick Gorringe's high-quality service gloves, designed specifically for soldiers during the First World War. The image features a brave and determined "Tommy" soldier, dressed in his uniform, holding a pair of these essential garments. The gloves, made of supple lambskin and lined with the same material for added warmth and comfort, are a testament to the importance of practicality and care during the harsh winter conditions of the battlefields. The slip-on design, with a secure strap, ensures a snug fit and ease of use, making them an indispensable item for soldiers on the move. The advertisement, with its evocative imagery and compelling text, speaks to the resilience and fortitude of the British military during WWI. These gloves, a humble yet crucial part of a soldier's uniform, served as a symbol of comfort and protection in the face of adversity. This advertisement offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War.
