EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph showcases a unique and historical Army Service Cap, transformed from a Two Pounder Pom Pom Shell Case Base during the First World War. The Two Pounder Pom Pom was a type of artillery shell used by the British military during the conflict, and this particular shell case base was creatively repurposed into a functional and stylish cap. The cap's most striking feature is the Royal Artillery button proudly displayed at its center. The Royal Artillery, established in 1716, is the oldest and most decorated branch of the British Army, responsible for the operation and maintenance of artillery and missile systems. The button's presence on this cap is a testament to the wearer's affiliation with this esteemed military regiment. Trench Art, a term used to describe the artistic creations made by soldiers during wartime, often using materials readily available to them, is exemplified in this cap. The Two Pounder Pom Pom Shell Case Base was transformed into a wearable piece of military history through the ingenuity and creativity of the soldier who crafted it. The cap's history is not only significant to the individual who wore it but also to the broader military community. It serves as a reminder of the resourcefulness and adaptability of soldiers during times of conflict and the unique ways in which they found meaning and connection to their regiments and the war effort. This photograph captures the essence of the ingenuity and creativity that emerged from the trenches of the Western Front during World War I. The Two Pounder Pom Pom Shell Case Cap is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the soldiers who wore it and the historical significance of the Royal Artillery regiment.
