A Holiday Season Tradition: Suggested Christmas Gifts for Britain's Blue and Khaki Boys in 1915 This evocative advertisement from 1915 showcases a selection of recommended Christmas gifts for the British soldiers serving in the Blue and Khaki forces during World War I. The image features an array of essential items designed to provide warmth and protection for the soldiers during the harsh winter conditions of the battlefields. At the center of the advertisement, a soldier is seen wearing the Chamois leather waistcoat, a versatile garment with long sleeves that could be worn as an ordinary waistcoat or turned down to cover the face and neck, offering added protection. The sleeping caps, a favorite among both forces, are also highlighted, featuring a design that could be worn as a snood or turned down as a cap. The advertisement also showcases cardigan jackets, available in both medium and heavy khaki wool, which offered fine protection from the cold. Another noteworthy item is the Flanders waistcoat, made from fawn fleece, a lightweight and snug material that provided essential warmth. This advertisement was published by A. W. Gamage, a well-known retailer based in Holborn, London, and was a testament to the company's commitment to providing the latest military garments and clothing to the soldiers during the wartime. The advertisement serves as a poignant reminder of the holiday season traditions and the sacrifices made by the soldiers during World War I.
