Trench talk - Peter Doyle and the Princess Mary Christmas Box
Manage episode 391241693 series 2806298
Welcome to our Christmas episode of Footsteps of the Fallen!
In this special Trench Talk I'm joined by Professor Peter Doyle who tells us all about the history behind one of the most iconic of all Great War artefacts, The Princess Mary Tin.
In this fascinating talk, we hear about the history of the box, the minute attention to detail that went into ensuring that its contents catered to all creeds and nationalities. We hear the incredible story of trench lighters, dispel some of the myths that surround the tins, and discover what receiving these gifts did for the men on that cold Christmas Day in 1914.
You can buy Peter's book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Every-Sailor-Afloat-Soldier-Front/dp/1913491536
Footsteps of the Fallen will be back in 2024, and I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
