1. Title: "A Light in the Trenches: A Candlestick Holder Transformed from an 18-Pounder Shell Case of the 10th Battalion Canadian Railway Troops, 1917" 2.. This image showcases a unique and poignant piece of military history - a candlestick holder, meticulously crafted from a repurposed 18-pounder shell case of the 10th Battalion Canadian Railway Troops during World War I. Dated 1917, this trench art piece is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers during the conflict. The 18-pounder shell case, a remnant of the intense battles fought during the war, has been transformed into a functional and decorative item. The intricate design of the candlestick holder includes the distinctive badge of the 10th Battalion Canadian Railway Troops, adding a personal touch and provenance to the piece. The 10th Battalion Canadian Railway Troops, also known as the "Sappers and Miners," played a crucial role in the war effort by maintaining and repairing the railway lines that were essential for the transportation of troops and supplies. Their contributions were invaluable to the Allied forces, and this trench art piece serves as a reminder of their service and dedication. Trench art, such as this candlestick holder, is a fascinating aspect of military history. It reflects the creativity and resourcefulness of soldiers during times of war, as they transformed ordinary items into functional and decorative pieces. This piece, in particular, is a poignant reminder of the 10th Battalion Canadian Railway Troops and their role in World War I.
