EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Great War oak games box with a handmade brass cribbage board lid is a captivating relic from the past. The intricately designed box, inscribed with "Sulva Bay, August 6th, Gallipoli," is a testament to the rich history of military puzzles and games during World War I. Unfortunately, the inscription bears a mis-spelling of the actual location, Suvla Bay, which was a significant site of the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915. The box showcases exquisite craftsmanship with its oak construction and brass accents. The lid, featuring the handmade cribbage board, adds an extra layer of functionality and charm. The interior of the box is equally impressive, fitted with an inkwell and a bullet pencil and pen, providing all the necessary tools for playing cribbage and recording scores. The box's historical significance is further emphasized by its connection to the Gallipoli Campaign, one of the most significant military campaigns of World War I. The campaign, which took place between April and December 1915, resulted in heavy casualties and ultimately failed to meet its objectives. This Great War oak games box with a handmade brass cribbage board lid is not only a beautiful piece of furniture but also a fascinating piece of history. It offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of recreation and entertainment during times of war. The mis-spelled inscription on the box, although unfortunate, only adds to its unique character and charm.
