Page "Bovril" Paragraph 5
from
Wikipedia
In 1870, in the war against the Prussians, Napoleon III ordered one million cans of beef to feed his troops.
Large quantities of beef were available across the British Dominions and South America, but its transport and storage were problematic.
Therefore Johnston created a product known as ' Johnston's Fluid Beef ,' later called Bovril, to meet the needs of the French people and Napoleon III.
