Object details

An egg-cellent adoption for any budding chef. As ordinary as this tin may appear, people were prepared to die or kill so that its underappreciated contents could reach these shores. Two thirds of the food consumed in the UK during the Second World War had to be imported by sea. Safeguarding this maritime lifeline became a vital task for the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force.
