Badge Inset Jewellery Norfolk Regiment Regiments Tortoiseshell Trench

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Treasured Keepsake from the Trenches: A Silver Jewellery Box with Tortoiseshell Lid Inscribed with the Silver Badge of the Norfolk Regiment" This exquisite Silver Jewellery Box with Tortoiseshell Lid, inset with the silver badge of the Norfolk Regiment, is a poignant reminder of the rich history of the First World War (WW1) and the bravery of the soldiers who served in the Norfolk Regiment. The intricately designed box, which dates back to the early 20th century, is a beautiful example of Trench Art, a unique art form that emerged during the war as a means of creative expression and coping mechanism for soldiers in the trenches. The Norfolk Regiment, also known as the "Dad's Army," was one of the oldest infantry regiments in the British Army, with a proud history that dates back to 1685. The silver badge on the lid of the box features the regiment's crest, which consists of a boar's head and a motto "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," which translates to "Where Right and Glory Lead." The badge is skillfully crafted and beautifully inset into the tortoiseshell lid, which adds to the overall elegance and charm of the box. The Silver Jewellery Box with Tortoiseshell Lid is not only a functional item but also a historical artifact that tells a story of the past. It is a testament to the resilience and creativity of the soldiers who made Trench Art during the war, and it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and bravery of the soldiers who served in the Norfolk Regiment during WW1. The box would make a unique and cherished addition to any collection of military memorabilia or antique jewellery boxes.
