Title: Army Biscuit, First World War [Go to resource]
Description: The War Office gave Huntley & Palmers substantial orders for army biscuits as soon as war broke out. The company also packaged 250,000 tons of basic rations, consisting of tea, sugar and Oxo cubes in tins made by Huntley, Boorne & Stevens. The war created a drain on labour as men responded to Kitchener's campaign for volunteers to join up. This meant that the company was employing more women than ever by the end of the War.
