During World War 1, the British Army & Navy introduced sweets in their men’s rations as a high energy food. Whether this particular sweet was part of this at the time is unknown but In any event, the name Army & Navy comes from the tradition of sweets in military rations. Handcrafted by Royale, the black, lozenge-shaped sweets are flavoured with liquorice and herbs, making them a favourite in winter.
