Foxhole radio.

[seaforth]

Soldiers on the frontline didn't have a lot of ways to stay updated about the whole picture of the war or at home.

Some soldiers made this kind of foxhole radio to stay tuned.

They also seemed to be made in pow camps.

You have to love the ingenuity of the young men who created such a piece of equipment! This is not something I had seen before,
