1. Title: "A Token of Gratitude: The Silver Cigarette Case Presented to Private A.S. Drinkwater This exquisite silver cigarette case, adorned with intricate engravings, bears testament to the remarkable service of a humble soldier during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Presented to Private Albert Stanley Drinkwater in recognition of his dedicated role as Hon. Treasurer to the First Volunteers Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, Companies A and B, between 1914 and 1919, this commemorative piece is a poignant reminder of the unsung heroes of the Great War. The First Volunteers Battalion, also known as the "Warwickshire Yeomanry," was an essential part of the British military effort during WWI. As Hon. Treasurer, Drinkwater played a crucial role in managing the financial affairs of the battalion, ensuring the smooth running of its operations and the welfare of its members. His diligent service was duly recognized with this elegant and thoughtful gift. The cigarette case, crafted from fine silver, is embellished with the insignia of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and the inscription, "First Volunteers Battalion, A & B Companies, 1914-1919." This commemorative ware not only reflects the military history of the time but also serves as a personal memento of Drinkwater's significant contributions to the battalion. As we honor the memory of those who served in the First World War, this silver cigarette case stands as a poignant reminder of the vital roles played by individuals like Private Drinkwater, whose unwavering dedication and commitment were essential to the success of the military effort.
