Illustration for the ILN 1916 Christmas number showing a mother and her children packing a special parcel to be sent to her husband at the front. A plump Christmas pudding is being wrapped in a napkin and one little girl contemplates a box of cigarettes ('smokes for Tommy was the fuel of the British Army!), a little boy brandishes a pipe (also in demand) and a plate of mince pies waits to be packed
