THE GREAT WAR TRENCH ART ALUMINIUM FEDE RING 1915

This is a fantastic piece of history from ‘The Great War’.

A fascinating trench art ring made of aluminium in the form of a Fede of clasped hands.

The ring would have been crafted by a WW1 serviceman whilst in the trenches.

They used any material they could find. Aluminium from artillery shells was commonly used as well a copper scraps.

The ring is engraved inside the shank with the word ‘Annequin 8/8/15’

It is possible the ring was made in the trenches of Annequin in France.

British battalions that landed in France in March 1915 moved through Annequin around this time.

The Fede hands can symbolise faith or marriage.

This ring may have been a symbol of hope for the soldier who made it, or as a souvenir to send home to a loved one.

This is a completely unique and poignant ring.
