Box: 8 cm Batterie Geraete-Verschlag

[BB75]

Picked this up in Virginia last weekend.

Oak wood, 23 by 13 by 6 inches. Nicely made. Presumably World War I?

Can anyone tell me what is was for, its vintage, etc. please? Google translate says: Battery random crate.

Maybe a tool box for a Model 1918 trench mortar?

Thanks, Brian
