Princess Mary Christmas 1914 Gift Fund writing case and silver pencil

A rare original First World War 'Princess Mary 1914 Christmas Gift Fund writing case with bullet pencil, the brass case engraved with Princess Mary's Cypher and stamped to the base “KN 14 VII”, complete with “Sterling Silver” bullet head and sharp virtually unused pencil. The canvas cover stamped with Princess Mary's Cypher, Christmas Fund 1914 and retains its brass open pattern press stud which needs handling with care. A memorial card accompanies this case and reads:
"In Loving Memory of Lc.Cpl. Lewis John Davies Beloved Son Of Thomas And Mary Davies, Pentre'rhedyn Street, Machynlleth, Who fell asleep October 26th, 1918, Aged 22 years, Interred in Machynlleth Cemetery October 31st."
With this is a portrait photograph of a nurse, a group of five nurses, a hospital ward, possibly his grave and some family snap shots. Very good condition.
