The back of the watch is engraved with the name of the soldier and we are sure this watch went into battle in WW1 as the inscription in the case back says Mizpah and the date of 1915.  The Mizpah wish "May God Watch Over You" was taken from the Book of Genesis and was revived in the 1900's when men were leaving their families to fight in The Great War. WW1.  These inscriptions were added to all tokens sent with the soldiers.  This is a lovely historical watch and  one you will enjoy owning.
