My Grandfather
One of my Grandfathers, Philip Henry Myers served in both World Wars, in the First World War he was in the Royal Horse Artillery and in the Second World War he served as an Anti-Aircraft gunner, he rose to the rank of Sergeant or Colour Sergeant and fortunately I still have his medals and a box given to the troops.
This is a World War One Princess Mary Gift Box, made of brass, & originally containing gifts for the forces serving in France at Christmas 1914.
Princess Mary (later the Princess Royal) organised a fund to ensure that each man serving in France at Christmas 1914 received a small brass tin containing cigarettes, tobacco, & chocolate.
The lid of the tin is embossed with her silhouette in a garlanded circle, her initials at either side, & 'IMPERIUM BRITANNICUM' above & 'CHRISTMAS 1914' below.
