EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately engraved cigarette box is a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the 9th Battalion of the Brigade of Ghurkas during World War I. The lid of the box showcases the distinctive badge of the battalion, featuring a charging elephant and the number "9" inscribed in the center. Trench art, created during times of war as a means of expression and connection, this cigarette box is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of soldiers in the face of adversity. The Brigade of Ghurkas, a part of the British Army, was renowned for its elite fighting units, with the 9th Battalion being one of its most celebrated. Comprised primarily of soldiers from Nepal, the Ghurkas were known for their exceptional physical fitness, discipline, and courage. They served in various theaters of the war, including the Western Front, Gallipoli, and Mesopotamia. This cigarette box, adorned with the battalion's badge, would have been a cherished possession for a soldier, serving as a symbol of pride and belonging. The engraving, likely done by hand, is a reflection of the time and care put into creating this piece of trench art. The intricate details of the elephant and the number "9" are still visible, despite the passage of time. As we look at this image, we are transported back to the trenches of World War I, where soldiers found solace and connection through the simple act of creating art. This cigarette box is a reminder of the rich military history of the 9th Battalion of the Brigade of Ghurkas and the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who served in the Great War.
