    During World War I the popular French magazine
    Le Pays de France
    sponsored a series of competitions for the best art pieces created by French soldiers. The magazine called these objects
    l’artisanat des tranchées
    . Translated into English as trench art, this term has been used ever since to describe a wide variety of war souvenirs made from battlefield debris or from pieces of military equipment, mostly from the Western Front.
