Is this simply trench art, or does it have a legitimate purpose ?

This was for some type of anti-submarine mortar (Hedgehog, I think, but I am sure some of our ex-RN members will know). I think it was fired electrically, with the wire going in through the mouth of the case.

Thanks everyone for the identification. If anyone needs one take a look at the D and B Militaria website.
