Ypres crucifix

1 Item

This crucifix is made from bullet cartridges and features the word 'Ypres' above the image of Christ. This is an example of 'trench art', and these would have been sold near battlefields as souvenirs to battlefield tourists and talismans to the soldiers themselves. My grandfather must have bought this in Ypres while he was stationed there. It has been on our family mantelpiece for years, and my sister Louise (named after Thomas's wife, our grandmother) took it around the world and sent it from Portugal so it could be photographed for the roadshow.

Russian Chapel near Isonzo Front

6 Items

The Russian Chapel (Slovene: Ruska kapela na Vršiču) is a Russian Orthodox memorial chapel located on the Vršič Pass road (1611 m) in northwestern Slovenia. It was built by Russian prisoners of war engaged in forced labor in the area during World War I. On 8 or 12 March 1916 (sources vary), an avalanche buried a POW work camp, killing approximately 110 prisoners and about 7 guards. During the time of the construction there were more than 380 casualties in total. Between 1916 and 1917, the remaining prisoners built a small wooden memorial chapel. The complete story is written at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Chapel,_Vr%C5%A1i%C4%8D || Present-day pictures of the chapel and surroundings
