Original Item: Only One Set of 3 Available. Trench art is any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians[citation needed] where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences. It offers an insight not only to their feelings and emotions about the war, but also their surroundings and the materials they had available to them.

Not limited to the World Wars, the history of trench art spans conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to the present day. Although the practice flourished during World War I, the term 'trench art' is also used to describe souvenirs manufactured by service personnel during World War II. Some items manufactured by soldiers, prisoners of war or civilians during earlier conflicts have been retrospectively described as trench art.

Each ring is a U.S. Serviceman's souvenir from their time in World War Two. These were often made from coins, as they were relatively easy to turn into rings. Included in this set are the following rings:

The rings in this lot:
- “GHQ” General Headquarters Ring Marked SILVER: The ring is in lovely condition but much of the color on the flag is missing with the GHQ still prominently displayed. Far East Command (FECOM) was a unified combatant command of the United States Department of Defense, active from 1947 until 1957, functionally organized to undertake the occupation of Japan and Korea. The 1st and 6th Marine Divisions (China Marines), who from 1945 to 1948 assisted the Chinese government in occupying northern China, disarming the Japanese, and helping the Kuomintang Chinese without fully getting involved in the Chinese Civil War, were not part of Far East Command and reported to Pacific Command and the U.S. Navy.

- Naples Ring: The ring is gold colored silver with a motif of a Greek landscape with the ocean, buildings and volcanoes in the background. The lower right portion has Naples engraved.

- Philippines: Silver ring with floral designs etched into the center and on the sides. The center smooth bar of the ring has Philippines engraved on it.
