Pack of Chesterfield cigarettes: Captain Leslie William Webster, Australian Air Liaison Section

Pack of Chesterfield cigarettes in the white and gold soft-pack design originally introduced in 1917. The Chesterfield name appears over a pale green representation of an eastern town, while the rear of the pack is devoted to a evocative description of the blended tobaccos contained in the cigarettes. The paper foil wrapping has been opened at the top and of the ten cigarettes supplied with the pack, nine are present.
