This item has been kept my mother's home for years. I remember seeing it as a kid and I am 70+ We are not sure if it is trench art or POW Trench Art WW1 is a unique collectable item that was created by soldiers during World War I. This art form emerged as a way for soldiers to pass the time and express their emotions during the tough conditions of trench warfare. Trench Art pieces are a tangible reminder of the sacrifices and creativity of those who served in the Great War. With a theme of Militaria and a specific focus on the Army service of Great Britain during the era of 1914-1945, Trench Art WW1 is a fascinating glimpse into the history of this conflict.
