EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing Trench Art lighter, shaped like a hexagon and adorned with six George V pennies on its sides, offers a glimpse into the creativity and resourcefulness of soldiers during the First World War. Trench Art, also known as Trench Craft or Trench Made, refers to the artistic and functional objects produced by soldiers in the trenches during the two World Wars. The hexagonal shape of this lighter is a common design for Trench Art lighters, which allowed them to be easily carried and used in confined spaces. Each side of this lighter features a George V penny, dated 1908, which were commonly used as currency during the war due to the shortage of small change. The reverse side of the lighter is also dated 1908, indicating that the pennies were likely collected before the war began. The use of Trench Art as a means of expression and creativity during the harsh conditions of war is a testament to the human spirit. These objects served not only as functional items but also as a way for soldiers to connect with their families and loved ones back home, as well as to create a sense of community and camaraderie in the trenches. This Trench Art lighter is a significant historical artifact, offering a tangible connection to the soldiers who created it and the era of World War I. Its intricate design and unique history make it a valuable addition to any military or historical collection.
