Older comments[edit]

Is this subject necessarily limited to the Great War? If so, what would one call artwork made in trenches by soliders in other wars? Also, where, if anywhere, in Wikipedia is there information about artwork made by soldiers in other situations, or, in general, artwork made by people in such situations as POW camps or concentration camps? --Daniel C.

Trench Art - Legacy of (?)[edit]

I was introduced to the idea of trench art by Texas-based sculptor Dario Robelto, whose work alludes to this form. I've lately taken an interest in art (and unofficial photography) made by soldiers in or near battle situations. If anyone can suggest further resources, I would be grateful.

Another view:

Some purists view Trench Art as only applying to WW I but much of that work was actually done after the war to make money for out of work artisans or as therapy for wounded soldiers. Trench art encompasses artwork done by military people and also by artisans using military related materials. One of the most common would be empty artillery shells. These have been used since the Spanish American War and were fairly common from the Vietnam War, less so since then. Soup bones, aircraft fragments, rifle stocks and coins have all been crafted into Trench Art. In some cases, such as artillery shells it is fairly easy to identify, but in the case of POW beadwork or carved soup bones reliable provenance is necessary to connect the art with the genre.

The article is a wholsale steal from a good book- and presented in a big chunk without illustrations it's boring.--Saxophobia 11:49, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues[edit]

Tone - needs to be written in a neutral, encyclopedic manner. The current tone of the article sounds like it was copied from a third party source. A complete rewrite may be necessary.
Citations - inline cites needed to verify assertions made, such as the definition and the 4 categories of trench art.

Please do not remove the maintenance tags until the issues tagged for and those outlined above have been sufficiently addressed to warrant removal. --BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 22:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bradford Khaki Handicrafts Club link[edit]

The link doesn't work. Here is one that does but It's a long time since I've added a link on wiki and never on a mobile so I'm hoping someone else can do it: https://www.trc-leiden.nl/trc-needles/organisations-and-movements/charities/bradford-khaki-handicrafts-club
