Description: Silver Communion Plate and Chalce, inscibed “Church 93rd Regt Sutherland Highlanders, Cape1813.” Both pieces were purchased in South Africa by the ordinary soldiers of the 93rd. They were used during the Communion service to distribute bread and wine. Originally the chalice had a lid but this was lost during WW2. Both the plate and chalice were continued to be used by the Regiment up until the late 20th century when copies were made and the original communion set given over to the museum. The copies were then used during Regimental Krik service.
