Anyone who has read "Sharpes Tiger" will know this story. (Siege of Seringapatam 1799)

There must be 1000's of dusty attics around the country that are hiding treasures like these ......... but mine ain't one of 'em.

Nice find for the relatives, though.

All I have are spiders in my loft.

I once shared a rented house in Westcliff-on-Sea and on venturing into the very dusty loft found an old lantern (nothing happened when I rubbed it), a WW1 greatcoat and the plans for Southend Pier. The landlord wasn't interested so we donated the last item to the library.

My Mrs is from Westcliff-On-Sea......

I've got three mice in my attic that are in the army.......they must be in the army as they're sat on the tank!!!

It would be good to see that lot on display. Hope some of it makes its way to the Royal Armouries in Leeds at some point.
