EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing and historic object is a Number 23 Mills hand grenade, transformed into a unique ink stand. The grenade rests atop a round, glazed metal base, inscribed with the words "Memento of the Great War." The actual hand grenade casting, a relic from the Allied forces during World War I, bears the registration number 651542 and the year of production, 1915. The Number 23 Mills hand grenade was a crucial component of trench warfare during the First World War. Its distinctive design, featuring a lever that released the grenade's pin, made it a formidable weapon in the hands of soldiers. This particular grenade, now repurposed as a commemorative ink stand, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The round, glazed metal base provides a stable and elegant platform for the grenade, while also serving as a reminder of the historical significance of this object. The term "Memento of the Great War" inscribed on the base further emphasizes the importance of preserving the memories and artifacts of this pivotal period in world history. This commemorative ink stand is not only a functional piece, but also a thought-provoking conversation starter. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring impact of military history on our lives today.
