HMS IRON DUKE

SAVING A TAMPION-PLATE OF THE HMS IRON DUKE (1912)

When the HMS Iron Duke (1912) was scrabbed after the Second World War, Major Gordon received a tampion-plate from Admiral Beatty. In 1985, Major Gordon's nephew Ronald Nicholson gifted it to the Duke of Wellington Regiment. In 2025 it was presented to the Yorkshire regiment where it still resides.
