31st Button Cases Coal Destroyer Engraved Inscription Jutland Maenad Moon Pounder Scuttle Shell Trench Made


EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing coal-scuttle, a cherished piece of military history, is crafted from two distinct types of shell cases and a naval button. The larger shell case, inscribed with the number "2," is a 2-pounder, a type of artillery shell used during World War I. The smaller shell case, although its caliber is unknown, adds character and texture to the creation. The naval button, a circular badge adorned with the engraved inscription "HMS Maenad, Jutland, 31st May 1916," is the most captivating element of this trench art piece. HMS Maenad was a Moon (M) class destroyer that saw action during the historic Battle of Jutland on May 31, 1916. This naval engagement, one of the largest naval battles in history, took place during World War I between the British Royal Navy and the German Imperial Navy. The inscription on the button serves as a poignant reminder of the ship's participation in this significant event. Trench art refers to the creative works produced by soldiers during times of war, often using materials readily available to them. This coal-scuttle, made from repurposed military components, is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the soldiers who created such works. The combination of history, artistry, and military memorabilia makes this piece a unique and valuable addition to any collection.
