Officer's field mess tins from the Boer War, ingeniously designed to fit into round mess pans. The contents of these tins would have been considered luxury items while in the field.

It was on this day 40 years ago that Sir Galahad was bombed by the Argentinians and caught fire. 32 Welsh Guards, waiting to land on the Falklands,were among 48 killed. The survivors took part in later battles to recapture the islands.
