105th Belt Brass Buckle Extremely Hinged Inscription Ranks Rare Regiment Regiments Saxon Stamped Trench Base Made
EDITORS COMMENTS
This extraordinary find is an other ranks belt buckle of the 105th Saxon Regiment, a rare and intriguing artifact from the annals of military history during World War I. The buckle, stamped under its base with the inscription "PROVIDENTIAE MEMOR," or "Providence Remember," is a poignant reminder of the soldiers who wore it, their reliance on the power of providence in the face of the uncertainties and dangers of the battlefield. The 105th Saxon Regiment, also known as the 105th Saxon Infantry Regiment, was part of the German army during World War I. The regiment saw action on the Western Front, and its soldiers endured the harsh conditions and intense battles that characterized the conflict. This belt buckle, now made into the lid of a brass hinged box, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers during wartime. Trench art, as this type of creation is called, allowed soldiers to transform mundane objects into personal treasures, often imbuing them with meaning and sentiment. The 105th Saxon Regiment belt buckle is an extremely rare example of trench art from the Great War. Its intricate design and inscription add to its historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any military history collection. The buckle's transformation into a lid for a brass hinged box not only preserves the artifact but also adds a functional element to it. This unique piece of history serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and experiences of the soldiers who wore the 105th Saxon Regiment uniform and the enduring power of human creativity and ingenuity in the face of adversity.
