A set of four aluminum rings showing various stages of development from the fragment of a German aluminum nose cone through to a ompleted ring decorated with the eagle cut from a German uniform button. This collection belonged to Alice Ripley Wood(1872–1963) who served as a nurse in France from 1914 to 1916. When she returned to England, she worked at Summertown Camp in Eastbourne, where aluminum rings were made for occupational therapy.
