Band Brass Copper First Modelled Regiments Trench Snuffbox
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately detailed First World War brass snuffbox, modelled as a British Army service cap, is a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of the conflict on everyday life. The snuffbox, which dates back to the early 20th century, features a meticulously crafted replica of a British Army service cap with a distinctive copper band. The cap design was commonly adopted by soldiers during the First World War, making this piece a fitting tribute to the military history of the era. The First World War, also known as the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved the majority of the world's great powers. The conflict saw the mobilization of over 70 million military personnel, making it one of the largest wars in history. The military regiments that fought during this time are an integral part of the history of many countries, including the United Kingdom. Trench art, such as this brass snuffbox, emerged during the First World War as a way for soldiers to express their creativity and pass the time in the harsh conditions of the trenches. The art form involved the use of materials readily available in the trenches, such as metal, glass, and wood, to create intricate and often decorative pieces. This snuffbox, with its intricate detailing and historical significance, is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the soldiers who created such works during the First World War.
