EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking and intricately hand-carved straight stem pipe is a poignant reminder of the experiences of Driver P.S. Wilson during his service with the Army Service Corps in the First World War. The pipe, which bears Wilson's signature on its base, is adorned with a finely detailed badge of the Army Service Corps, dated 1914-15. The pipe's bowl is etched with a series of place names, each one a testament to the soldier's journey through the battlefields of Europe. The names, inscribed in a neat, legible script, include Paris, Rouen, Amiens, St. Quentin, Senlis, Soisson, Compiegne, Nery, Marne, Mons, Ypres, Ainse, Crecy, Omer, Meaux, Neuve Chapelle, Vlamertinghe, Ploegsteert, Ermononville, Armentieres, and Godwarsvelde. These places were significant sites of conflict during the war, and the presence of these names on the pipe suggests that Wilson may have been present at these locations. The pipe is an example of trench art, a term used to describe the creative works produced by soldiers during times of war. Trench art often served as a means of expression, a way to pass the time, or a source of comfort and connection to home. This pipe, with its intricate carvings and personal significance, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and experiences of soldiers like Wilson during the First World War.
