Antiques series. This episode comes from the National Maritime Museum, Cornwall, based in Falmouth. Hundreds of people turn up with personal treasures they want to take to auction, and antiques experts Philip Serrell and Charles Hanson turn up a few gems - like a chair made from the wood of Lord Nelson's ship, and an old teapot that gets the bidders excited. Paul Martin takes a moving look into the lives of American soldiers billeted in Cornwall before the D-Day landings.
