Something a bit more exotic - blackened shell case with engraved decoration by Nguyen van Trang of the 18th Battalion Indochinois, part of France's colonial forces, while at Miraumont, Somme.

For Christmas, a gift of chocolate from the islands of Trinidad, Grenada & St Lucia. The base of the tin has been decorated by an RAMC man for his wife in 1917.
