<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 201188, member: 36"]They could have been made by soldiers from any of the armies involved; I don't think the Germans made them, but ... who knows. The French, British and Americans all did. War is sometimes defined as days of boredom interspersed with hours of sheer terror. The doughboys would be sitting around sometimes for weeks, and worked with what was handy. I.e. spent shell casings, sometimes wood, coins, etc. My favorite piece of trench art is a WWII Mother pendant made from an Aussie silver dime and a piece of perspex most likely from a downed plane.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
