WW1 TRENCH ART MACEDONIAN FRONT W/ SWASTIKA WWI

WW1 trench are from the Macedonian front. WW1 began with the Austro-Hungary declaring war with Serbia after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo. The Serbian Army gave strong resistance to the initial attacking forces, but - after Bulgaria joined the Central Powers in 1915 - it attacked and did drive back the Serbian Army in late 1915. The Allied Powers then provided aid to the Serbs, and formed the Macedonian Front, also known as the Salonika Front. English troops were there from late 1915 until the end of WWI in 1918. In September of 1918 the Allies caused the Bulgarians to capitulate, thereby freeing Serbia. This interesting piece of trench art came from a British Soldier on that Front. The lidded box measures 3 1/2 inches wide and is in excellent condition.
