Queen Victoria Chocolate Tin is the most famous tin from the 2nd Anglo Boer War (11 October 1899 - 31 May 1902),which Queen Victoria sent to her soldiers in South Africa. Each contained her gift of chocolate and in her writing across the bottom it said, "I wish you a Happy New Year, Victoria Reg".

In December 1899 the British Army could have certainly used some cheering up. In Black Week, in the middle of the month, amateur Boer soldiers and generals had inflicted some of the worst defeats that the British Army - the most powerful in the world - had ever suffered, much to the delight to other Europeans. Hoping to change their luck, the Commanding General Buller was fired, and the men got chocolate ... so the wags quipped. French cartoonists had a field day, "Oh yeah, right Chocolate Victoria. Just the thing for treating all the wounded you've got".

Size 15.5 cm x 9.5 cm x 2 cm. In used condition with age related wear.
