The Touch-wud charm, a symbol of luck and protection, is depicted in the image with its intricately carved body, silver arms, and legs. The charm's body is meticulously crafted, revealing the detail and care put into creating this historical artifact. The reverse side of the charm bears the inscription "Touch Wud," adding to its mystique and significance. The First World War, also known as WWI or the Great War, began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. This period marked a significant turning point in military history, with millions of lives lost and the world forever changed. The use of charms, like the Touch-wud, was a common practice during this time, as soldiers sought comfort and protection in the face of the unknown. The Touch-wud charm, made of commemorative ware, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this tumultuous time in history. The silver arms and legs, as well as the carved body, add to its unique and intriguing design. The reverse inscription, "Touch Wud," serves as a reminder to touch the charm for good luck, providing a sense of comfort and hope in the midst of the chaos and uncertainty of war. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to reflect on the historical significance of the First World War and the personal stories of those who lived through it. The Touch-wud charm, with its intricate design and historical context, is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope and belief in the face of adversity.
