These original cigarette cards showing Victoria Cross recipients were issued with John Players Cigarettes in 1914.
The set shows a number of soldiers and sailors who were awarded the medal in a variety of conflicts, including the Boer War, Crimea and India.
They are a set of 25, each card has an illustration on the front of the soldier or sailor in action during during their heroic effort and a brief description on the back.
A very interesting set of cards depicting the bravery of British military personal before WW1.
The cards are all original and approx 6.5 x 3.5cm in size.
There is some wear commensurate with the age of these cards but overall the set is in good condition.
Please note. I do my best to accurately photograph and describe the condition of the items for sale, including any minor defects but all pieces are vintage and have had previous lives and so may have minor flaws.
