A large earthenware amphora, unglazed but painted green. It has a white rim and the inscription 'H.M.S. IMPLACABLE DARDANELLES 1915' within a white shield-shaped border on one side. It was brought back from the Dardanelles by Leading Seaman Albert Edward Thomas (born 1884). He served in 'Implacable' from 28 July 1914 to 18 April 1916, when he was injured by an exploding torpedo and invalided out of the navy.
