1st Battalion, King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, Prisoners of War/Princess Mary Gift Tin Roll, 1919

After the Armistice on 11th November 1918 work got underway to ensure the fair distribution of Princess Mary 1914 Christmas Fund gift boxes to prisoners of war. In the Imperial War Museum's Women's Work Collection* a document exists which lists those prisoner of war of the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment who were due to receive the gift tin. Using this record and other information in the King's Own museum's collection we can learn a little more about the composition of the 1st Battalion in 1914. Those men who went overseas on 23rd August were all regular soldiers with the 1st Battalion. Those who went later were more likely to have been reservists. Members of the battalion came from all parts of the Britain.
