Match Striker Tank - A Unique Piece of Trench Art from the Great War
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph showcases an extraordinary work of trench art, depicting a Match striker in the form of a First World War tank. Trench art, a term used to describe the artistic creations made by soldiers during wartime, often served as a means of expressing creativity and hope amidst the harsh realities of the battlefield. The Match striker tank, a striking example of this art form, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers during the 1st Great War. The Match striker, a simple tool used to strike matches, has been transformed into an impressive replica of a WWI tank, complete with intricate details such as treads, turret, and cannon. The tank's body is made of brass, with a darkened patina that adds to its aged and battle-worn appearance. The treads and cannon are made of wood, giving the piece a textured and tactile quality. The attention to detail is remarkable, with even the smallest details, such as the tank's tracks and rivets, meticulously crafted. The Match striker tank is not only a fascinating piece of military history but also a reminder of the human spirit's ability to find creativity and joy even in the most challenging of circumstances. This unique work of art serves as a testament to the soldiers who created it and the enduring legacy of trench art from the First World War.
