If I was the recipient of a box full of fags, booze, jazz mags and choccie, I'd like to see some limp wristed, PC, woke, fluid gendered retard try and take it off me.

Those of us "of a certain age" will also remember that every so often on an op tour the unit would get a large batch of cigarettes and spirits which was stuff that Customs and Excise (as it was then known) had confiscated at ports etc in the UK. Everyone got a bottle of something (usually brandy or whisky), and the non smokers then also had a box of 200 to trade with the addicts.
Last time I recall it happening would have been around 85/86, so God knows what happens to the stuff now.
Edited to add: the stuff was secured by the QM and dished out on the way home
I think they were confiscated smugglers' contraband, from a planeload seized at Sarajevo airport. We used to get them too, when I was working with the UNMOs. Were they always Marlboro (Or something very similar)?
ETA: And bottles of Merlot too. Farsands and farsands of bottles of bloody Merlot.
Possibly send boxes to padre of deployed unit (after clearing this with him by e-mail) asking if they can be re-addressed randomly with individuals names?
