Facsinating page of art from the trenches of war. Like this model submarine, made of bullets

From the page: "Soldiers have always made decorative or souvenir objects in their spare time"

Every piece of trench art is a unique artistic creation. Each in the end is valued for its past associations with a family member or friend, for its individual `personality', for the skill with which a particular artistic design is rendered, or for its association with a specific military unit or battle. This unique art form, born of blood and sacrifice, deserves much more attention than it has received to date.
