Treasured by the troops was Queen Victoria's Christmas gift of chocolate which came in this handsome tin.
In the hand-writing of the Queen were the words:
I wish you a happy New Year.
Forty thousand such tins were designed/made by J. S. Fry & Sons, Bristol.
Later tins were made by Cadbury, and Rowntree. Some soldiers even kept the chocolates as a memento. This tin belonged to Cpl. J. P. Fox. [Photography by David Fox].

In 1900, Queen Victoria sent 40,000 boxes of chocolates, actually decorated tins, to the troops in South Africa fighting the Boer War (Letters, December 16). Some of these tins have survived as "collectibles".
