Collection: British Army WW2 Metal Drinking Cups
During World War II, the British Army issued metal drinking cups to soldiers as part of their standard kit. These cups were made from metal, typically aluminum or stainless steel, and were designed to be durable and easy to clean. They were an essential piece of equipment for soldiers in the field, as they allowed soldiers to drink water and other fluids without the need for a separate container.
British Army WW2 metal drinking cups were typically cylindrical in shape and had a capacity of around 1 pint. They often featured a fixed handle or a folding metal handle. This allowed the cup to be attached to a soldier's backpack or webbing for easy carrying. Some cups also featured markings that indicated the capacity of the cup, as well as the manufacturer and the date of production.
Today, British Army WW2 metal drinking cups are popular among collectors of military memorabilia.
