EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I, moments of levity and camaraderie between soldiers could be found. In this 1916 cartoon from Mary Evans Prints Online, a sophisticated and refined French soldier, dressed in his blue uniform with helmet and medal, prepares to depart on leave. Before he goes, he asks his African colleague, wearing a fez and holding a rifle, for a favor. With a cheerful grin, the African soldier obliges, reaching into his hair to offer the Frenchman some of his lice. The French soldier, excited to share this unusual souvenir with his friends and family in Belleville, gratefully accepts. The room they are in is filled with the remnants of wartime life - debris, a stove, and a window looking out at the desolate landscape. The soldiers share a lighthearted moment amidst the harsh realities of war, highlighting the complex and often unexpected dynamics of life on the front lines. This historical cartoon, with its joking tone and depiction of interracial camaraderie, offers a unique perspective on the human experience during the First Great War.
