WW1 British BEF Canadian CEF Artillery Officers Spurs This pair of World War I-era spurs is representative of those issued to artillery officers serving with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). Constructed from brass with original leather straps, the spurs were designed to be worn with field boots, reflecting contemporary military practice for mounted personnel. Spurs such as these played a practical role in aiding cavalry maneuvers and directing horses during wartime operations. Key features include a traditional rowel design, adjustable leather straps, and attachment hardware compatible with standard-issue military footwear of the period. The presence of stamped markings or serial numbers, when present, can assist in further identifying the unit or manufacturer. These spurs are typical of those used on the Western Front by artillery officers, whose command frequently relied on equestrian mobility. This item provides insight into the material culture and functional equipment used by members of Commonwealth artillery units during the First World War.
