Food items, especially sweets, cookies and cakes were always welcome. Some soldiers on the line were continually afflicted with digestive troubles and requested frequent letters supplemented with as much toilet paper as could be crammed into the envelope, to augment the small packs which came in the ration boxes. My uncle wrote his mother and asked for skin lotion, which she sent. He also asked for a wrist watch, no doubt a handy item for coordinating actions on the front line. He also asked for handkerchiefs (but not highly visible white ones!). Front line soldiers were living basically like people camping out, in holes in the ground, hardly ever indoors!
