    This is an AZO with triangles Real Photo PostCard (RPPC) that dates from the WW1 era.

    In his hand the soldier is holding a WW1 shell with an applied emblem-- probably a 37mm shell from the Infantry Gun M1917.

    On the tree trunk he has laid out his pocket watch (looks like 1230) and his pocket knife.

    A very unusual pose for the era. I don't encounter a lot of these photos showing trench art in its original era of production.

    My RPPC, my photos do not copy or reproduce in any form.

      Definitely not your usual studio prop.
