This is a very , very nice clean collectors Silver engraved WW1 trench watch , with a lovely case & military dial with red 12 and lumed dial it is engraved to a "Captain Charles Ross, Cameron "with a date of 10/5/1916 Its winding and running well keeping great time .The seller informed me it was serviced around 1& years ago , I have no reason to doubt him but have no documentation .I do not want to service it in case the lume comes out during the dismantling and the fact it is working fine and had a recent service so no real need , otherwise i would do it. It has the lovely original "cathedral" lumed hands and the perfectly rounded dots above the number that seem to have been applied professionally (or at the factory when it was made ) The solid silver case is excellent no damage it seems to have been filed down a little to recess the crown for some reason or maybe to avoid getting it snagged on clothing or equipment during active service , it has the silver stamp "t" 1914 one year before the engraving .The movement is winding tight and working wonderfully both on the wrist and lying horizontally .It is in superb vintage antique condition considering its age and history , a real serious investment & a great watch to wear being a good large size  ,.The strap is a new modern Chris Balm thick leather 2 piece bund style and compliments it perfectly .It would make an excellent birthday gift or present for the WW1 Brevet ,Suisse Swiss , Trench, English ATP WWW  GSTP or WW2  collector and it looks great .it would make a great centre piece in a Trench watch collection or even in a museum It would be nice for it to go back to Canada in my opinion , Captain Ross was around 33-34 when he was killed and had no wife or family , probably how the watch ended up in England.His Ontario Peterborough address can be found online As well as the roll of Honour that i have requested a copy of ,I will forward it to the new owner .This brave soldiers name is on the Vimy Ridge monument and he was the only Captain online with this name and his details are found at canadian great war project website.This WW1 Beauty measures around 36mm across inc crown 35mm without by 42mm lugs to lugs   please email any queries before bidding please on this nice old collectors WW1 watch that really is very special  . The 2nd Battalion Canadian Infantry has an incredible list of battle honours (basically the entire WW1 campaign)  :as follows  Ypres, 1915, '17Gravenstafel RidgeSt JulienFestubert, 1915Mount SorrelSomme, 1916PozieresFlers-CourceletteAncre HeightsArras, 1917, '18Vimy, 1917ArleuxScarpe, 1917, '18Hill 70PasschendaeleAmiensScarpe, 1918Drocourt-QuéantHindenburg LineCanal du NordPursuit to MonsFrance and Flanders, 1915–18Charles Ross CameronThe formation of the 2nd Canadian Division began in May 1915 in Britain, following the arrival of a large contingent of soldiers from Canada.
