Two other companies, a beefeater battalion, a contingent of police, an artillery detachment, and some engineers and workers were later embarked.
Beefeater is exported to over 100 countries across the globe, with annual sales of over 2.3 million nine-litre cases.
Beefeater has now started another refurbishment program changing its logo and theme again.
Beefeater expanded over the next 20 years, before the chain experienced difficulties in the 1990s.
