From my old paper collection
A menu from the officers mess on board the ironclad battleship HMS Repulse circa 1871
Commissioned in 1870 the Repulse was designed to be the flagship of the Pacific Fleet and as such had accommodation for the admiral and his staff plus the ships regular compliment of officers
This menu probably dates from the time the the Repulse was acting as guardship at Queensferry prior to going to the Pacific, indicated by the variety of meats on the menu
