This is an original
example of a trench club obtained from
a long-standing collection. The club is made from turned hardwood and
pressed with hobnails. The head has been drilled out and filled with lead.
There is no way to know if this is a German or Allied trench club.
Contrary to popular myth, these clubs were not produced by individuals.
They were produced in mass by units in the field utilizing regimental
carpenters and welders etc to produce large amounts of the same pattern of
club. |
