EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and hardships of the First World War front lines, comfort and warmth were essential for the officers serving their country. In this vintage advertisement from the Illustrated London News Ltd, Debenham and Freebody showcase a selection of useful gifts for these brave men. The advertisement features an array of high-quality clothing items designed to keep officers warm and protected during their duty. At the forefront of the image, an Akhaki shirt with a smart collar catches the eye. This shirt, made of durable khaki material, would have provided a neat and professional appearance for the officers. Further down, a fur waistcoat is displayed, offering both insulation and a touch of elegance. The advertisement also highlights a fur-lined British warm coat, perfect for the harsh winter conditions of the trenches. Quilted silk under-jackets, sleeping helmets, and sleeping bags are also featured in the advertisement. The under-jackets would have provided an additional layer of warmth under the uniforms, while the sleeping helmets and bags ensured a comfortable rest during brief moments of respite. This advertisement serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by officers during the First World War and the importance of providing them with essential items to help them endure the challenging conditions they faced. Debenham and Freebody's commitment to supplying high-quality clothing for the officers demonstrates the company's dedication to supporting those on the front lines.
