A superb French-found

World War Two British Army

Heavy China 'Char' Mug

Dated 1942


Located on a farm in Caen, 

near Bayeux in Normandy,

the first town that the 

British Army's 50th Northumbrians

took and occupied on June 7th in North Western France after

the June 6th Invasion of the Normandy coast-line.


The mug is large, really solid & completely undamaged 

and shows age & tea stains as signs of its original use in the field

by the British squaddies in action in France

but as been left exactly as it was found.

Maker-marked in a pale grey-green on the base

BRIDGWOOD

1942

it is in a fabulous used, issued condition.

and makes a terrific souvenir of the Allied heavy fighting 

that took place across Normandy

after the 

June 6th D-Day Landings of 1944
