EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph showcases a unique piece of military history: a German Howitzer shell case transformed into an Army Service cap. The base of the shell, which once held deadly projectiles during the First World War, has been repurposed into a distinctive headgear. The cap is adorned with the badge of the Royal Field Artillery, a testament to its new ownership by this esteemed British military branch. The shoulder title adds an additional layer of identification, further emphasizing its military provenance. Engraved on the rim of the cap, the words "France and Flanders" serve as a poignant reminder of the battlefields where the Royal Field Artillery saw some of its most significant actions during the Great War. This trench art piece, created from a German Howitzer shell case, not only showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers during wartime but also serves as a powerful symbol of the camaraderie and shared history between military units. The Royal Field Artillery, one of the oldest and most decorated branches of the British Army, played a crucial role in the First World War. With over 100,000 personnel, it provided artillery support to the British Expeditionary Force and was instrumental in the defense of France and Flanders. This cap, with its intricate history and intriguing origins, is a testament to the rich military heritage of the 1st Great Military Regiments and the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who served during the First World War.
