Abstract
A hard rain: children's shrapnel collections in the Second Worl...
Gabriel Moshenska
107 - 125
Drawing on testimonies collected as part of the People's War project, the article examines the processes of accumulation, exchange and disposal of shrapnel collected and traded by children during the Second World War, looking at the aesthetic qualities that gave shrapnel fragments their value and attractiveness. In doing so, it attempts to locate children's shrapnel collections within their social worlds, as well as within broader discussions of material culture and modern conflict. It highlights the significant differences from other more typical forms of collecting, and some of the more subversive uses that children found for their shrapnel.
