EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative and historically significant trench art piece showcases a First World War bugle from the Norfolk Regiment, adorned with intricate details that tell the story of a soldier's service. The bugle, a vital communication tool on the battlefield, bears the regiment's distinctive badge, featuring a Norfolk county crest, a brass crown, and the Roman numeral XI. The name plate, embossed with the number 9033 and the name D. Foster, identifies the bugler who once played its call to arms. The broad arrow and SOMME 1916-18 markings indicate that this bugle was issued during the Battle of the Somme, one of the most significant engagements of the First World War. The brass shoulder bar, also present, would have held the bugle securely to the soldier's shoulder during marches and movements. The initials D.F. are embossed below the Norfolk badge, adding a personal touch to this poignant relic of history. Trench art, created by soldiers during their downtime in the trenches, serves as a testament to their resourcefulness, creativity, and resilience in the face of adversity. This unique piece stands as a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who served in the 1st Norfolk Regiment during the Great War.
