1. Title: "In Honour of Bradford Territorials 1914: A Commemorative Oval Tobacco Box from the WWI Era" This exquisite oval tobacco box, adorned with intricate brasswork and a vibrant enamel and metal badge, is a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the Bradford Territorials during World War I. The box, with its securely fitting lid, dates back to 1914 and is a testament to the rich history and craftsmanship of the time. The centre of the box features an intricately designed badge, showcasing the heraldry and arms of the City of Bradford. The enamel and metalwork display the city's crest with pride, surrounded by the words "In Honour of Bradford Territorials 1914." This commemorative piece was produced to pay tribute to the local military regiments that answered the call to duty during the First World War. The box's oval shape and brass construction are reminiscent of the military chests and boxes used during the period. The intricate metalwork and the use of enamel add an elegant touch to the otherwise functional design, making it a desirable collectible for history enthusiasts and military memorabilia collectors. The box's historical significance lies in its association with the Bradford Territorials, a part of the larger Yorkshire regiments that played a crucial role in the 1st Great Military Campaigns of the WWI. The box serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of Bradford during the war, and the resilience and unity of the community during a time of great upheaval. This commemorative oval tobacco box is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship and historical significance of wartime collectibles. Its intricate design and rich history make it a valuable addition to any collection, and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Bradford Territorials and the City of Bradford during the WWI era.
