During World War I, soldiers often received parcels containing essential items from home, such as food, clothing, and personal hygiene products. Common contents included canned goods, chocolate, socks, and letters from loved ones. Additionally, items like tobacco, writing materials, and small comforts were included to boost morale. These parcels played a vital role in maintaining the soldiers' spirits and well-being during the harsh conditions of the war.

well they got many things depending from where their parcel is coming from. If it is coming from the army then it would be things that are mostly tinned like some vegetables. They occasionally got biscuits and jam. If they were getting parcels from home then they usually would get gum boots to keep their feet more dry to stop the spread of trench foot. They also get woolly thinks like socks and hats and also some food items as an extra. They also got cigarettes so keep their huger satisfactory and also to keep then calm and they also had rum when they were off the front-line fighting. The majors and Generals got the most luxurious meals just like a high class person in Britain would.

Canadian soldiers did not typically receive flags upon enlistment or discharge during World War I or World War II. However, flags were often used in ceremonies or parades to honor soldiers. In later years, particularly around the time of the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation in 2017, the Canadian government began recognizing the contributions of veterans with commemorative flags, but this practice was not standard during the world wars.
