A wonderful personalised trench art style souvenir from the post-war cleanup era. The front is hand engraved with an image of a soldier sweeping for explosives.
The case tracks a highly specific deployment route through northern training camps and defensive sectors. It was likely crafted by or for a serving sapper with the initials "RA."
During 1949–1950, these units were tasked with clearing northern firing ranges, coastal defences, and training grounds of hazardous live ordnance before the land could be returned to civilian use.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound and functions well.
