WWI Trench Art Horseshoe – 1917 Péronne Battle of the Somme
£ 145.00
On offer is a remarkable piece of World War One trench art, a brass-mounted horseshoe engraved “Péronne 1917”, believed to have originated from a warhorse used during battle. This historically significant artifact serves as a poignant reminder of the intense fighting around Péronne, a town central to the Battles of the Somme during WWI.
Péronne, located in the Somme region of northern France, was under German occupation for most of the war. While a key objective in the 1916 Battle of the Somme, it remained in enemy hands until liberated by Allied forces in 1917. In March 1918, the Germans recaptured it, only for the town to be fully liberated in September 1918—by then, it was almost completely destroyed.
Measuring approximately 5.75 inches in diameter and 5 inches tall, this original trench art piece remains in good condition, displaying its authentic age-worn patina. It stands as a powerful memento of one of the most devastating battles of WWI.
