1915 British Trench Whistle

[VolksJager]

Found this piece today at a local collector fair with some other items. Been looking for one for awhile now but they always seem to be quite expensive. Couldnt say no and it looks like a nice issued piece. Nicely dated 1915 and maker marked J.Hudson & Co. It still works to which is a somber sound to hear, as it was probably one of the last sounds alot of soldiers hear.

Last pictures is the rest of the items I picked up today.

You got all that as one group? Nice pick up! Whats the thing that says EGYPT 1916 (?) on it? is it a snuff box or something?

Thanks, I did get these all as one group. The thing with Egypt 1916 is a little wooden donkey hoof with shoe, here is the topic:
