Comforts for the boys at the Front

The Gloucestershire Society in London held a Bohemian Concert in the Holborn Restaurant, London.  The proceeds paid for 400 Christmas parcels to be sent to the boys of the 1st Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment on duty at the Front.  The parcels contained a briar pipe, tobacco pouch, 2 oz tobacco, 50 cigarettes and matches.  There were also 280 one pound tins of Fry’s chocolate with 24 bars per tin and 300 tins of 6 ounces of peppermints in each tin.
