024. Christmas Pudding And A Pair Of Socks

In 1939, a Christmas pudding and a pair of knitted socks were sent to staff on war service both on the home front and in the armed forces. Every comrade serving overseas also received an extra one hundred cigarettes. 7,000 Christmas puddings were sent to enlisted troops along with 7,000 knitted comforts to London Passenger Transport Board’s own Anti-Aircraft batteries and 1,240 men in other regiments. 1,024 knitted articles were also presented to the children of serving LPTB men.
