This matchbox was created on the Lens front, near Vimy Ridge. Private Frederick Arthur Lee of the 3rd Canadian Engineers shaped it from a German shell case. The obverse of the matchbox has the Royal Flying Corps insignia, while the reverse depicts an engraving of a German soldier running.

minden idők lövegvázája

Mondjuk nem klasszik trenchwork sztem, ennyire azért nem szoktak ráérni, még tán fogolytáborban sem, bár igazából passz.

Viszont feketepont a készítőnek, mivel levágta a talpat (gondolom hogy még művészibben kibaszkurálja az alsó részt), ami azért megkönnyítené a datálást, de gondolom ilyen I. Vh. környéke, vagy korábbi.

hi random ask coming through look around you what's the closest item you have there that you want to talk to me about. like a cool poster or a mug or something!!!!!!

Saw your post when I was in my kitchen, and this was the coolest item next to me, resting on my shelf.

What looks like a simple tiny vase of some sort, is actually a shell from the first world war. Soldiers would recuperate shells that had fallen all around on the battlefield, empty them of any remaining gunpowder, and use them to create art - carving intricate decorations as a way to pass time when they were stuck in the dug-outs for days.

Decorated shells are the most famous exemples of trench art.

At the bottom of this one you can see this specific shell was manufactured on september 1917, for infantry use (the grenade symbol on the right, as opposed to marine or anti-air use for instance)

My friend gifted this to me after we spent a week visiting the area around Verdun last winter, as a strange sort of pilgrimage. It was odd and emotional, and this week felt like it lasted a month, but it was good.

#ww1 #trench art #asks #ww1 is my suspiciously cishet male interest but i swear im normal about it lol #im not a crier but got severely teary eyed because of a handwritten and handpainted postcard by a father to his daughter we saw at a museum #he had sent it alongside carved toys he had made out of wood just for her #it was so dripping with love. so so much. i don't have the words for it #and the note from the museum described the object and ended by saying this man died on the no man's land and never returned home #what a massacre. so much heartbreak #and through it all people still made art #anyway hBGHB this got longer than i planned but god can i get rambling at times #thank you sm for the ask!!

You never know what’s going to come out of the ground. This is a piece of trench art jewelry. Most likely made during world war 2 by an American soldier stationed in Australia. It’s a 1939 Australian shilling that’s been fashioned into a ring with the name Sarah engraved on to it. The composition is 92.5% silver.

A decorated aluminum canteen, carved by a Russian soldier in a prisoner of war camp in Czersk, Poland during WW1. It is an example of "trench art", i.e. decorated items made by soldiers, POWs, or civilians during warfare/conflict.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits is an oldie but a goodie. My piece of WWI trench art - a section of shell casing turned into an ashtray.

It's a German shell manufactured in September 1917, in the Patronenfabrik, Karlsrühe.

General Post; Trench Art Discoveries

Some of the things I’ve found whilst searching through all the random boxes at the house are these little fellas: It’s trench art that I’m assuming belonged to my grandad or possibly my great uncle and they somehow made it out to Portugal at the bottom of a box of junk. Two of them were quite easy to figure out: A cute little bottle open that pops out when you press the cap. A little lighter…

Trench Art Corporal Frank Alexander Cameron of Barrie, Ontario, was a signaller with the 2nd Canadian Division. In his spare time, Cameron crafted a four-piece tea set for his mother, sending each piece home as it was completed. The materials include British 13- and 18-pounder shell cases, a French 75 millimetre case, and French rifle bullets. Cameron took four years to complete the set. He survived the war, but his younger brother, Allan Stanley, was killed in action in 1918.
