Image description: Half bottle of Champagne supplied to hospitals for the sick and wounded, 1900. Made by Dagonet at Fils, 1900. One surprising treatment supplied by the War Office during the Boer War (1899-1902) was champagne, which was highly-regarded for medicinal use: one sergeant wrote home I have had 5 bottles of champagne this week, but they have taken the champagne off & put me on 2 bottles of double stout a day!
