Description

Pair of Arabic ‘Trench Art’ Artillery Shells. The intricate designs on the casings are in an Eastern or Arabic style, with Arabic script and designs, including stylised foliage. Possibly created by Turkish prisoners of war in the Middle East 1914 -1918. The markings "BERNDORF," "1918," and "7.5cm M15" on the base of the shells indicate they were manufactured at the Berndorf factory and are likely casings for the 7.5cm M15 mountain gun.
