EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing trench art piece showcases a functional lighter crafted from a repurposed stainless steel pocket watch during the First World War. The watch, once a prized possession, has been transformed into a practical and unique lighter. The watch face has been carefully preserved, with the hands still visible beneath the clear glass top. The dial bears the insignia of the East Lancashire Regiment (Egypt), a British military unit that saw action in the Middle East during the war. The regimental badge, featuring a crown and laurels with a sphinx and the motto "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," is prominently displayed on the watch body. The lighter's fuel chamber is formed from the pocket watch's metal case, while the ignition mechanism has been ingeniously fashioned from the watch's inner workings. The German Hansa Cross, an enemy insignia, has been thoughtfully integrated into the design, showcasing the soldier's ingenuity and the spirit of adaptation that characterized the trenches of the Western Front. This historical artifact is a testament to the resourcefulness and creativity of soldiers during wartime, as well as a poignant reminder of the conflicts and hardships endured during the First World War.
