Loot of the day: Lieutenant Borrett took "two Abyssinian swords...a ring I cut off a dead enemy, part of a native bible and a bullet that fell at my feet during the fight" during the British "expedition" to Ethiopia in 1868. Here's the ring in Lancaster http://kingsownmuseum.com/mus03campaigns1868.htm #ethiopia #loot #plunder #empire #britishempire #repatriation #abyssinia #maqdala #magdala #africa #alamayu #alemayehu #lancaster #army #britisharmy #military
