akka Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 This is my Great Grandfather's ID Bracelet from the first World war. Its not been worn by anyone for the last 100 years. Today I made a strap for it and tomorrow my son will be wearing it on the remembrance parade through the village. The bracelet is made from an artillery shell with a .303 bullet mounted in the centre. I suppose there were times when soldiers had to find things to occupy their time and creating things like this helped to pass the time.
