EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh winter of 1915, as the British troops braved the unforgiving conditions of the Western Front during World War I, the importance of warmth and comfort became a top priority. This advertisement from the Illustrated London News showcases the offerings of Frederick Gorringe, a renowned clothing company, dedicated to providing essential winter garments for our brave soldiers. The image displays a selection of Frederick Gorringe's finest winter woollies, designed specifically for the British military. The khaki cardigans, with their practical design and warm wool fabric, would have been an invaluable addition to the soldiers' uniforms. The service scarfs, available in various colors, would have kept their necks and ears protected from the cold. The advertisement also highlights the availability of gloves and coats, ensuring that the soldiers' hands and bodies were shielded from the winter's bite. As the uniforms of the British soldiers were often made of heavy, uncomfortable materials, the addition of these warm and comfortable garments would have not only provided physical warmth but also boosted morale during the challenging times. The Illustrated London News, recognizing the importance of this cause, proudly endorsed Frederick Gorringe's commitment to the welfare of the troops. This advertisement serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during World War I and the crucial role that companies like Frederick Gorringe played in ensuring their comfort and survival.
