Combined Military Services Museum Tea & Talk Club, Maldon Sword, Prue Mason, Agent Zoe, Civil War, Victoria Cross
The Tea & Talk Club began yesterday morning with a fabulous presentation by our Curator Julie Miller. The audience was enthralled as she detailed the stories behind a Viking Sword, Civil War Armour, a Victoria Cross and Cold War spy Prue Mason's 'Kiss of Death' lipstick gun! Plus it was a sell-out!⚡️
