The gift of the Colonies of Trinidad, Grenada & St Lucia

I've seen Princess Mary boxes but I've never seen one of these ... have you ?

The gift of the Colonies of Trinidad, Grenada & St Lucia to His Majesty's Naval & Military Forces (WW1).

This chocolate was made from cocoa grown in Trinidad Grenada & St Lucia

 

I wonder if these were ''care' items given to WI troops? I know that Angostura (of Bitters & Rum fame) supplied 74 (Trinidad) Sqn in WW2 with rum regularly, as well as a bottle to every Trinidadian serviceman in the UK. Can you email me a better copy of the choc tin photo (and any other data) Annie? Never saw the like before, and would like to follow up on a search locally. Ta

 

I found this on the Australian War Memorial site .... best picture of it I found ...
