Brilliant find, I have never seen a "trench candle"!

I wonder what the story behind those shrapnel fragments is. Chances are the guy was wounded by them.

I have seen two other versions of trench candle sold to the troops, one is the "Camp Pocket Candle Stick" (sold to australian troops) the other being " Khaki Kombination Kandlebox" neither as small as this little gem

Hi,
the piece of card is quite rare as this is what the Hallmarked bullet pencil was fixed to when the tin was issued, it was normally thrown away.
