#Flashbackfriday to the First World War and the Battle of Loos in 1915. This chalk carving of the Welsh Regiment cap badge was made by a member of the 1st Battalion, the Welsh Regiment, from chalk cut from the trenches at Loos.

#WhatIsItWednesday? Here we have a piece of trench art, created during the First World War. A brass paper knife with bullet handle and inscribed “Cambrai 1917”, brought back from France as a souvenir by a soldier of the Welsh Regiment.
