EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting relic of the First World War is a brass knuckleduster that once belonged to Sergeant Duffen of the Sherwood Foresters regiment, who was awarded the Military Medal (MM) for his bravery on the battlefield. The image of this brutal weapon, etched with the initials "S.D.", serves as a stark reminder of the raw and primal nature of combat during the Great War. The Sherwood Foresters, also known as the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment, were one of the oldest and most distinguished infantry regiments in the British Army. They saw action in many major battles during the First World War, including the Somme, Passchendaele, and Arras. Sergeant Duffen's brass knuckleduster is a testament to the harsh realities of trench warfare and the close-quarter combat that often took place. Brass knuckles were a popular weapon among soldiers due to their effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat and their ease of concealment. The Military Medal was the British military's second-highest decoration for gallantry in the face of the enemy below the rank of officer. It was awarded to Sergeant Duffen for his exceptional courage and leadership in the heat of battle. This medal, along with his brass knuckleduster, are now valuable historical artifacts that provide insight into the experiences of soldiers during the First World War. The image of Sergeant Duffen's brass knuckleduster offers a glimpse into the darker side of military history, highlighting the raw and primal nature of combat during the First World War. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Sergeant Duffen and the Sherwood Foresters regiment during this pivotal moment in history.
