Military and wartime antiques and memorabilia includes an enormously wide variety of objects. From the battlefield, there are the uniforms, wristwatches, medals, buttons, tools, and trench art worn, used, and created by those on the front lines. On the homefront, there are the war and propaganda posters produced to keep morale high in difficult times, the postcards mailed to and received by loved ones, and the memoirs and history books written during and after conflicts for the benefit of future generations.
