EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silver cigarette case, dating back to the tumultuous years of World War I, bears the inscription "To W. D. Brayham, G Coy, 3rd Lincoln Regt. - Marksman 1918." The intricate engraving on the case is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era, with the 3rd Lincoln Regiment's insignia proudly displayed on the lid. The case was manufactured by SB &s Ltd. in Birmingham and stamped with the year 1917. The case's historical significance lies in its connection to the 3rd Lincoln Regiment, a part of the British Army during the First World War. The regiment, also known as the "Cherry Gardens," was a pioneer battalion that saw action on the Western Front. The marksman designation on the case indicates that W. D. Brayham was an exceptional shooter, a skill that would have been essential in the trenches of the Western Front. The silver cigarette case is a poignant reminder of the bravery and dedication of the soldiers who served during World War I. The engraving and the year of manufacture suggest that this case was likely a gift, perhaps presented to W. D. Brayham as a token of appreciation for his service and marksmanship. The commemorative ware label further emphasizes the historical significance of the item, making it a valuable addition to any military history collection. This silver cigarette case is a beautiful and intriguing piece of history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who fought in the Great War. Its intricate engraving, historical provenance, and connection to the 3rd Lincoln Regiment make it a must-have for anyone interested in military history or the history of World War I.
