Coaling a ship in WWI was no joke! Ships like HMS Argonaut needed hundreds of tons of coal to stay battle-ready. Crews worked nonstop, covered in coal dust, hauling & trimming under gruelling conditions.
Imagine doing this at sea under enemy threat! #NavalHistory #RoyalNavy #WWIHistory #NavalPower

During WWI, tobacco companies wrapped cigarettes in imagery of service, patriotism, and morale.

These ads used soldiers, flags, and Allied symbols to make smoking appear inseparable from wartime life.

Color Chesterfield cigarettes advertisement from Life. A smiling young soldier in uniform holds a lit cigarette near his face, with smoke rising beside him. The words “Chesterfield Cigarettes” appear in large yellow lettering at the top, and the phrase “Gee! I’m in luck” appears beside the cigarette smoke. A Rainbow Division patch is visible near the lower right, and yellow text at the bottom promotes Chesterfield as a blend of Turkish and domestic tobaccos. Color Helmar Turkish Cigarettes advertisement with a warm orange background. A soldier holding a rifle with a bayonet stands on the left, and a sailor holding a rifle stands on the right. Between them is a large Helmar cigarette package decorated with Egyptian-style imagery and the words “Turkish Cigarettes.” Large black text across the top reads, “The Quality of Helmar is closely guarded,” visually linking the product to military protection. Color Murad Turkish Cigarette advertisement showing a soldier in uniform crouched or leaning forward with a rifle and bayonet. A large eagle with spread wings fills the right side of the image, and a Murad cigarette package appears near the soldier. The design uses dramatic red, orange, blue, green, and black tones, with large text at the bottom reading “Murad The Turkish Cigarette” and “20 cents.” Color Murad Turkish Cigarette advertisement reading “All for One, One for All.” Four illustrated Allied military figures appear around a floating Murad cigarette package in the center. Each figure has a cigarette in his mouth, with national colors or flags behind them. The ad uses alliance imagery, military uniforms, and shared smoking to connect Murad cigarettes with unity, cooperation, and wartime camaraderie.

The Silent Appeal asked Americans to send smokes to Belgian soldiers during WWI.

The booklet turned tobacco into a home-front relief effort, using battlefield imagery, royal endorsement, and donation coupons to encourage contributions.

Cover of The Silent Appeal! booklet for the Belgian Soldiers’ Tobacco Fund. A black-and-white photograph shows a Belgian soldier seated alone among rubble beneath a damaged brick archway. Broken boards and debris fill the space behind him, and a partially open gate appears at the right. Decorative borders frame the image, a small crown appears near the top, and the title “The Silent Appeal!” is written in large red script at the bottom. Interior spread from The Silent Appeal! booklet. The left page includes a portrait of King Albert of Belgium, red script reading “King Albert relies on the people of the U.S.A.,” and printed text describing his support for those providing comfort to Belgian soldiers. The right page features large handwritten-style text reading, “A Lasting Peace is What These Brave Belgian Men are Fighting for,” followed by an appeal asking whether readers will help cheer them with practical help by sending “smokes.” Interior spread from the Belgian Soldiers’ Tobacco Fund official collecting booklet. The left page lists the fund title, the Over-Seas Club, King Albert of Belgium as patron, and many organizers, officers, patrons, and committee members. The right page contains multiple blank 25-cent contribution receipt forms, each with spaces for a contributor’s name and address, the red phrase “Give Courage!,” and text explaining that the receipt represents a package of cigarettes sent to a Belgian fighting-man. Interior spread from The Silent Appeal! booklet. The left page contains “The Cardinal’s Touching Message,” with a portrait of Cardinal Mercier and a printed letter expressing gratitude for American generosity.

Black-and-white World War I field photograph showing several soldiers gathered outdoors around a table or supply area. In the center, one helmeted soldier leans forward with a cigarette in his mouth while another soldier appears to light it. Other soldiers stand nearby, some watching and some turned away. Helmets, uniforms, and field equipment are visible throughout the scene, giving the image the feeling of a brief pause in military life. Black-and-white photograph of two wounded soldiers standing outside near a large building. The soldier on the left uses a crutch and appears to be missing part of one leg. He holds a match or lighter toward the cigarette of the soldier on the right, who stands facing him with a cigarette in his mouth. The background includes trees and a building with columns or porches, placing the scene in a hospital or recovery setting. Black-and-white hospital ward photograph showing wounded soldiers lying in metal-framed beds while a Red Cross worker stands beside them holding a large basket of cigarettes or tobacco. One soldier smiles and reaches toward the basket. The room has high walls, patterned wallpaper, tall columns, white bedding, and visible medical supports, placing cigarette distribution inside a wartime care environment. Black-and-white Lucky Strike Roll Cut Tobacco advertisement from The Review of Reviews advertising section. The background shows soldiers in a camp with white tents, trees, and military activity. In the foreground, one soldier stands while another sits, and a large text block describes Lucky Strike as “a right soldierly smoke.” The advertisement connects tobacco with camp life, rest, and soldierly identity.
