Suspect wooden trench art bos on Ebay
I was alerted to the box in the attached pictures and viewed it on Ebay where it is up for auction. Whilst I like the box and believe it is period along with the diamond pattern and the V for victory and date 1943. I do have a problem with the outline of Jersey. I asked the seller for a close up of the front of the box with the sticker removed. His response was not as expected..... someone wanting to aid a buyer in deciding how much to bid. He came back saying the item was packed and could not send a photo. I feel the Jersey part of the box is post war applied and therefore done to deceive. Maybe others of you who are into wooden type trench art might have opinions either way, please let me know what you think.

Wooden box with some "embellishments" why V for Victory in 1943 though? Would make more sense if dated 1945.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
