EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately crafted desk ornament showcases a Royal Field Artillery Other Ranks arm badge from the First World War. The brass and metalwork piece, a fine example of trench art, adds a unique and historical touch to any desk or office space. The Royal Field Artillery (RFA) was one of the largest and most important branches of the British Army during the First World War. Established in 1716, it was responsible for providing artillery support to the British military. The RFA was made up of various ranks, including gunners, drivers, and signallers, all of whom played crucial roles in the successful execution of artillery operations. The arm badge depicted on this ornament is that of the Other Ranks, featuring a gun and a crown above the letters "R.F.A." The badge is intricately detailed, with the gun and crown rendered in exquisite detail. The brass and metalwork used in the creation of this ornament add to its antique charm and authenticity. Trench art emerged as a popular form of expression and creativity during the First World War. Soldiers and civilians alike would create art from discarded materials, such as spent shell casings, bullets, and other military hardware. The creation of trench art provided a sense of normalcy and comfort in the midst of the chaos and destruction of war. This desk ornament is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of those who lived through the First World War. It serves as a reminder of the history and heritage of the Royal Field Artillery and the important role it played during the conflict. The intricate details and high-quality craftsmanship make this a cherished addition to any desk or office space.
