Metal chalice (cup / goblet) found in the mud of the battlefield at Passchendaele by 72nd Battalion, CEF Private A.P. (Andy) McNair, 1917. One of two cups. In 2013, there was some controversy about these goblets. People in Belgium want them to be returned. No further details at this time. See Rob MacDonald and Jim Purdy. It was later determined that these goblets are not religious in nature and will not be returned. 1015674 Pte Archibald Peter McNair originally enlisted in the 231st Battalion on 10 July 1916.
