This is the back of the matchbox holder given to Anthony Lynch by a soldier after the war. On the back there is a carving of Somme 1916-1917 in the centre of the case. The design is different from the front of the case. The back has a box design instead of curving design on the front. The floral pattern is still visible in the back. Again the design stretches to the edge of the casing. There is no rusting on the back of the casing and the design is greatly visible.
