WWII artilery shell trench art

[Edwin1]

Hello! Please help me with this shell. I think it's british. It's dated 1916.

[HARRY THE MOLE]

Its an 18 pdr case. The case would be filled with sand - which was tightly compacted, and then a hammer & punch (or bayonet) were used to add the detail.

Cheers,
Steve.
