Hand Made Dagger (Trench Art), Lambert Fell, Yorkshire Regiment. (1)

These items were given to me by my late mother. The postcard/ birthday card was from my grandfather LAMBERT FELL who was a 2nd Lieutenant to my mother for her birthday on 11th May. The 2 daggers have been hand made. 1. Appears that the handle is made from old shell cartridges. 2. Has SOMME crudely engraved. Editor's Comment: Acting Serjeant 21164 Lambert Fell, Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards), later Temporary Seond Lieutenant, Labour Corps (Comissioned 2nd April, 1918). The first knife is made from a British .303 cartridge, with two additional bullets used to form a cross-guard. Soldered to the top of the handle is a button (probably the British General Service pattern with royal coat of arms), forming a pommel. Ricasso of the blade is in the form of a Maltese Cross.这批藏品为我已故母亲所赠。其中的明信片/生日贺卡，来自我的祖父兰伯特·费尔（LAMBERT FELL）——他当时以少尉身份，在5月11日母亲的生日时赠予了她。这两把匕首均为手工打造：1. 刀柄疑似由老旧弹壳制成；2. 刀身表面粗略刻有“SOMME（索姆河）”字样。编辑注：兰伯特·费尔（编号21164）曾服役于约克郡军团（绿霍华德团），担任代理中士；后于1918年4月2日获委任为劳工兵团临时少尉。第一把匕首以英国.303口径弹壳制成，另有两枚额外子弹用作十字护手。刀柄顶端焊接有一枚纽扣（大概率为带有英国皇家纹章的英军通用制式纽扣），以此构成剑首。刀刃的无刃段（Ricasso）造型为马耳他十字。
