DEACTIVATED INERT .55 Boys (14x99B) Mark 2 1939 Dated Practice Anti-Tank Rifle Round. Sn O 1321 - O 1321 This round was developed by a Captain H C Boys, a designer at the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield resulting in the .55 Boys anti-tank rifle being adopted in 1937.

Victorian British Yorkshire Dragoons Yeomanry Cavalry Officer’s Helmet With Queen's Crown, Helmet Plate, White Horse Hair Plume, Liner & Link Chin Strap. Sn 15169 - 15169 The Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons was a Yeomanry Cavalry Regiment of the British Army in existence from 1794 to 1956. The Regiment was formed as Volunteer Cavalry known as the South West Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry in 1794 during the French Revolutionary Wars. In 1844, it changed its name to the First West Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry. Finally, in 1897, after the Sheffield squadron had the honour of escorting Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, at Sheffield and being represented at the Royal celebration of that year, the Regiment became known as the Queens Own Yorkshire Dragoons. The Yeomanry was not intended to serve overseas, but due to the string of defeats during Black Week in December 1899, the British Government realised they were going to need more troops than just the regular army and the Regiment provided Yeomanry Battalions to serve in the Boer Wars. The Regiment was converted to an armoured role during the Second World War. In 1956, it merged with the Yorkshire Hussars and the East Riding of Yorkshire Yeomanry to form the Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry. Its lineage is continued today by A (Yorkshire Yeomanry) Squadron, the Queen's Own Yeomanry.

After a lengthy career in the Royal Navy, she was wrecked in the Sound of Mull on 9 October 1690, while on a mission to persuade the MacLeans of Duart to sign Articles of Allegiance to William III and Mary II. The wrecksite was identified in 1973 by divers from Bristol. This is a group of 4 original iron 6 pounder cannon balls recovered by Royal Navy Divers from the wreck of HMS Dartmouth.

They have even patina and are stacked for display on a purpose made wood display plinth which has a wooden triangular frame nailed to the top which allows the balls to be stacked in the type of position they would have been stored in when ready for loading into a cannon. The stand measures 7”x7”x 1 ½”. When stacked on the plinth the balls and stand together measure 8” height. One side of the stand has its original paper label with typed lettering describing the HMS Dartmouth sinking, history surrounding the event and recovery of the balls by Navy divers.
