EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately crafted Second World War trench art lighter, shaped like a 20mm shell, is a poignant reminder of the creativity and resourcefulness that emerged from the harsh realities of war. The bullet-like design, complete with a finely detailed rifling pattern, pays homage to the weaponry used during this global conflict. Atop the shell rests a British RAF great-coat button, adding a unique touch of history and symbolizing the alliance between the United States Army and the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Trench art, the art form that emerged from the trenches of the First World War, gained popularity during the Second World War as soldiers sought to bring a sense of normalcy and creativity to their often grim surroundings. Using discarded military items, such as bullets, shell casings, and buttons, soldiers transformed these objects into personal keepsakes, functional items, and even works of art. This lighter, a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of those who lived through the Second World War, is a valuable piece of military history. Its bullet-shaped design and RAF great-coat button top make it a unique and captivating addition to any military history collection.
