Beautiful "The Perfect Trench Watch" style case measuring 36mm with screw front and back, my personal favorite and the style of the watches I sold to the wardrobe department of the set of the movie Hugo Caberet.
This baby has one main difference, the inscription!
The Rifle Brigade were psenonomous with WW1 combat... SNIPERS! And what a great inscription simply awesome.
The 10th Battalion were formed at Winchester in September 1914 as part of K2 and attached to 59th Brigade in 20th (Light) Division. They moved to Blackdown, going on in February 1915 to Witley and then in April to Hamilton Camp (Stonehenge).
21 July 1915 : landed at Boulogne.
5 February 1918 they were disbanded at La Clytte, having sustained very heavy casualties during the latter stage of the Battle of Cambrai on 30 November 1917.
The watches attributes are great with a lovely dial, crown, hands and numerals. The Cortebet movement is running well and keeping time.
A wonderful watch with splendid un-repeatable history.
