A boy enjoys his ice cream as he sits on a sea mine washed up on the beach at Deal in Kent, February 1940

Hope the little bugger didn't get blown up.

Wow! What war would that have been from?

WW2 more than likely

1940, could have been WW1, might take 20 yrs for that wire cable to rust through.

I would guess that mine was from WW1 and got washed ashore during the war on Britain in 1940

I hope he's not having the classic British lunch of beans and toast.
