Trench art – Wooden Regimental Crest – 15th Bn

Dark brown, wooden 48th Highlanders Regimental Crest, 13″ h x 9 1/4″ w, carved by CQMS F. B. MacDonald, 15th Battalion. The crest was made from a piece of French farm house wood and carved using an issue knife, glass piece and nail. A chain for hanging the crest is affixed from corner to corner at the top. A wide variety of pieces and subjects were made by troops while in the trenches as a method of taking up time and getting their focus away from the trenches and war.
