Abstract
This paper examines the technological, medical and cultural circumstances that prompted the creation of tin facial prosthetics during the First World War. It argues that advancing industrial munitions technology far outpaced the contemporary, craft-based attempts at human recovery in the fields of plastic surgery and prosthetic design during the war. This exposed design lag was materialized in the inadequacy of the instantly obsolete and largely unwearable tin masks. In their ultimate futility as lasting prosthetic devices, these artefacts have themselves become uncanny material mementos of war, inadvertently reproducing and projecting the loss fundamental to the violent conflict that they sought to conceal.
