Antique French pair of shell casings from the World War I Very typical of this war because the freedom of Alsace and Lorraine was one of the many issues at stake in this confrontation. The thistle and the cross of Lorraine have been symbols of victory for this region since the Middle Ages. The cross of Lorraine was even more popular during the Second World War because it was chosen by General de Gaulle to represent Free France. Trench Artillery Good condition.
