I was sent this youtube short film made by Sainburys for Christmas 2014.
Have a look. To the Commonwealth guys on the forum, I believe it will resonate with you. Enjoy.

I thought that it was very tastefully done.

Well done Sainsbury's and the Royal Legion.

My Mum worked at Sainsbury's in the early '60's.

A very moving and "feel good" add mate...I like it, and if memory serves me correctly, it mirrors history.

Thanks, ITD! This is well done.

It reminds me of the butter cookie tins that the Royal Canadian
Legion had a few years ago with the cookies from Anzac (Austrailian New Zealand Army Corps) WW2/Korea that were used as a fund raiser for Rememberance Day and veterans. I remember eating Canadian rations overseas and they had a small tube of Austrailian butter inside them. The memory of how good the food tasted outweighs the setting that it was eaten in.
