EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly poignant cover image from The Bystander magazine, published on October 19, 1939, features the iconic cartoon creation of Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, Ole Bill, making a ghostly reappearance as the world once again plunges into the devastating chaos of war. With the Second World War in full swing, the image of Ole Bill, a British soldier from the First World War, stands behind a young soldier in a WWII uniform, his sandbags and rifle a stark reminder of the horrors of war that have repeated themselves just a few short decades after the Armistice. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of war on generations of soldiers and the cyclical nature of conflict. Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, a veteran of the First World War himself, was the most famous cartoonist for The Bystander, and his work during that time brought a much-needed sense of humor and levity to the trenches. This cover image, with its haunting juxtaposition of past and present, underscores the gravity of the situation and the heavy burden that war places on the shoulders of those who are called to serve.
