Yes it is.
When the soldiers were sitting in the trenches with nothing to do..........they found old shell cases and bits of wood and metal and the made art.
I have some brilliant games they made out of bits of wood and metal.
Very interesting.
Thanx SO much for your interest.

I am so intrigued by all of this. The idea of beauty being created in the midst of such darkness... it's amazing!

Darkness, cold, wet and boredom!
First World War was just horrific.
Thanx so much for your interest...............I am glad I put the photo on.

I know.......it is getting harder and harder to find.
I see a LOT of shell cases made into flower vases.
