<p>[QUOTE=&quot;April07, post: 358627, member: 7302&quot;]Some curious trench art ring that gives more questions than answers.</p><p>We found this ring 20 years ago in a village field next to our summer house in Ukraine. The ring has inscriptions in Ukrainian: in front &quot;Andriy (name): 19-8-44 In captivity; left side: In seclusion; Right side: 29-3-42. I have looked for similar objects, but didn&#039;t find anything reminiscent of this ring, it doesn&#039;t look to me a regular WWII memorabilia.</p><p>It is obvious that it was made by someone who was in military captivity at the moment, but it remains unclear to me why the ring has such a fine finishing. And I don&#039;t know why it has an end date (19.8.44). The Soviet government frequently arrested militaries returning from the captivity so it would be strange to commemorate this with a ring.</p><p>20 years and still puzzled[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
