1. Title: "A Soldier's Keepsake: An 18-pounder Shell Case Transformed into a Cap with the Distinctive Badge of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and General Service Buttons" This intriguing photograph captures a unique piece of military history - an 18-pounder shell case that has been transformed into a cap adorned with the badge of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and General Service buttons on its band. The base of the shell case, clearly visible in the image, bears the date "30.11.16," indicating its origins during the First World War. The 18-pounder gun was a crucial component of the British artillery during the Great War, and the Royal Dublin Fusiliers were among the first-rate regiments that played a significant role in various battles. This trench art piece serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers during wartime, who often repurposed discarded military items to create personal keepsakes or functional objects. The Royal Dublin Fusiliers' badge, which features a shamrock and the regimental motto "Quis Separabit," is prominently displayed on the cap, adding a personal touch to this unusual piece of military memorabilia. The General Service buttons on the band further enhance its historical significance, as they were used to denote various campaigns and services that soldiers had participated in. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich military history of the First World War, showcasing the creativity and resilience of the soldiers who served during this tumultuous period. The 18-pounder shell case cap is not only an intriguing piece of trench art but also a poignant reminder of the soldiers' experiences and the enduring bond they shared with their regiments.
