    I’ve had this ring for a while, picked up at a car boot sale but I’ve only just looked at it properly.
    It looks like a trench art type piece. It doesn’t polish up.
    I can’t make out the inscription so maybe one of you are able to help please?. On 1 side appears to be 1914 and in the other side 191 so presumably it was never finished which if I am correct is rather sad.
    Thankyou for looking :)

    It was the only WWI/trench-related term I could think of that started with an A and fit the rest of the letters.

    KSW, I posted some rather similar rings in April of last year. Here's the thread:

    WWI aluminum men's rings - trench art? | Antiques Board (antiquers.com)

    I gave the ones I had to my son this past Christmas, as I've been trying to pass along to him (and to my daughter) a little "history of the family".

    I thought Arras, then realised it had been said. Well done Ruth. Using battle names is quite common on these, I've seen Ypres on some.

    I think these turned up early on more often than later. Not sure if I've seen an American one; our guys got there and the trench/boredom (until all hell broke loose) warfare went away.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Very interesting! I remembered @SBSVC 's previous discussion thread, too.
