EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant Brass souvenir takes the form of a heart, intricately engraved and dated between 1915 and 1918. The heart is adorned with the cap badge of the Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment), a regiment with a rich history in the British military. The regiment's emblem, featuring a stag's head with antlers and the crown, is prominently displayed, albeit missing its crown. This heartfelt keepsake is a testament to the enduring spirit of the soldiers who served in the trenches during World War I. Trench Art, as this piece is classified, reflects the creativity and resourcefulness of the soldiers who crafted such items from the materials at hand. Dated between 1915 and 1918, this Brass heart serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The Sherwood Foresters, also known as the 1st Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment, were among the many brave regiments that fought valiantly in the Great War. This historical artifact, with its intricate metalwork and engravings, is a treasure trove of history and a reminder of the courage and resilience of those who lived through the tumultuous years of World War I.
