[10] The stronger Bournville Cocoa line was introduced in 1906. [10] Cadbury Dairy Milk and Bournville Cocoa were to provide the basis for the company's rapid pre-war expansion.

Cadbury's Milk Tray was first produced in 1915 and continued in production throughout the remainder of the First World War.
