British WWI Trench Art Ink Well, Doughboy Souvenir Named

Original era manufacture. A nicely rendered inkwell made from a brass fuze and bullets gathered during WWII. All sit upon an oak base, with an inscription on the bottom.The inscription, written on three strips of surgical tape reads as follows; 'I bought this inkwell from a British soldier in Le Harve France. They made things like this in their spare time from German ammo in World War One. Ralph L. Johns 1918.'Doing a quick look on Ancestry, I found two men named Ralph Johns, one a 2nd Lt of Cavalry, and the other a Private in the 124th Infantry regiment. The base has a crack in the top, and one of the split bullets forming the pen rest is missing. Base measures 5 x 5 inches.
