<p>[QUOTE=&quot;daveydempsey, post: 456811, member: 22&quot;]<b>Trench art</b> is commonly defined as any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war or civilians, where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences.</p><p>Common articles that this includes are decorated shell and bullet casings and items carved from wood and bone.</p><p>To the uninitiated, all trench art, by definition, was made by a soldier sitting in a trench in France during the First World War, in the midst of a bombardment. To the cynics, it was all made in the 1920s by enterprising French and Belgian citizens. The reality is, naturally, a mix of these extremes, and everything in between, and spans conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to the present day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
