Often they are made from re-purpose lead bullets, brass recovered from spent charge cases, and copper from shell driving bands. Few examples were fashioned literally in the trenches but many were made by soldiers or civilians returning after the conflict, drawing on places and events from their own experiences.‘Highflier’ was a British WWI Mark IV series tank that took part in engaging the German forces at Cambrai on 23rd November 1917. The Imperial War Museum holds a photograph of knocked out British tanks of C and H Battalions of the Tank Corps in German hands near Cambrai.
