Cigarette Cards and Silks
Regimental and military subjects were popular to be featured in
cigarette cards during the first half of the 20th Century. Silks
were produced at first and these were taken over by cards. A
number of different tobacco manufacturers published cards which featured
the King's Own Royal Regiment.
