This coffee consisted of an essence of coffee beans, chicory, and sugar which was contained in a distinctive bottle. It is believed that the Gordon Highlanders requested a coffee drink from Campbell Paterson that could be used easily by the troops in the army while on the field campaigns in India. Making coffee the regular way of grinding and brewing was too time consuming and complicated to be used by the military field kitchen. This proved to be a much simpler way of making coffee, the creation of a liquid Camp coffee. The label changed over the years to keep from looking like the Sikh in the picture was a servant as shown on the original label. In the current label the 2 soldiers are sitting next to each other outside of a tent. The drinks slogan is "Ready Aye Ready".
