Good morning all,
My apologies if this has been covered, but i'd really like to find a WW1 timepiece, one that has been through arguably the most horrific battle imaginable, and yet somehow over a hundred years later wear it on my wrist. Does anyone know of any example makes and/or references, and ways of telling the likelihood of it being strapped to someone's wrist in a trench at Verdun, the Somme or Ypres? The history and stories contained in such a timepiece would be pretty much unparelled.
I see plenty of 'trench watches' listed on C24, but seem to be from 20s/30s, so i guess are 'trench style', rather than 'seen WW1 trench action'.
Can anyone direct me to what i should be searching for specifically ?
Thank you vm.
John
