Item Description
Original Item: Only One Set of 3 Available. Trench art is any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences. It offers an insight not only to their feelings and emotions about the war, but also their surroundings and the materials they had available to them.
Not limited to the World Wars, the history of trench art spans conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to the present day. Although the practice flourished during World War I, the term 'trench art' is also used to describe souvenirs manufactured by service personnel during World War II. Some items manufactured by soldiers, prisoners of war or civilians during earlier conflicts have been retrospectively described as trench art.
Each ring is a U.S. Serviceman's souvenir from their time in World War Two. These were often made from coins, as they were relatively easy to turn into rings. Included in this set are the following rings:
- Silver Ring With “Manila ‘45”: The ring is in great condition with the text and date still highly visible.
- Copper/Brass Ring: This is a strangely designed ring. The center is blank and appears to possibly have been painted. There is a good amount of oxidation and verdigris buildup.
- USN Chief Ring: This is a lovely art deco style service ring with mother of pearl inlay and a Chief’s rank on the inlay.
Great WWII souvenirs from the Second World War, ready to display!
