WWI Soviet imperial army officers and enlisted soldiers buttons trench fresh.
Circa 1st WW RUSSIAN imperial army buttons from the grenadier corp, officer Corp and the general enlisted. These are pulled strait from the extremely same trenches that millions of young men and boys sent to their intimate death. Be it emotional, psychological, physical, or like so many others that never made it back because of the lack of human remains that were never able to be peace together to even make one coherent set of fingers much less a body. And yes I said that for shock value because all war should be felt with a visceral feeling that makes every single one of us sick to our very soul. I have kept the ones that have obviously been blown apart so bad that I have buttons that have melded into other buttons and buckles creating a molten mess that I can't even comprehend what these poor boys and young men's bodies would have looked like if there was anything at all left to find. This was a war like all others built on deceit, lies and deception for the sole purpose of taking more.
