EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print, hailing from circa 1915, offers a satirical glimpse into the harsh realities of life on the Western Front during World War I. The image depicts a barber, clad in a military uniform, intently focusing on a soldier's head as he holds a pair of scissors. The soldier, wearing a British Tommie helmet and a pained expression, requests, "Ow will yer ave it cut?", to which the barber responds, "Without gas, please." The humor in this cartoon lies in the juxtaposition of the mundane task of getting a haircut with the perils of life on the battlefield. The soldier's request for a haircut without gas suggests that he is fearful of the imminent danger of a gas attack. This satirical take on the situation highlights the stark contrast between the triviality of a haircut and the very real and grave dangers that soldiers faced during the war. The presence of surgical instruments in the background further emphasizes the frequent need for medical intervention on the front lines. The scene could be interpreted as a commentary on the high incidence of injuries and the importance of both physical and moral support in the form of a haircut or a moment of levity amidst the chaos of war. This evocative cartoon provides a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during World War I and the importance of finding moments of respite and levity in even the most challenging circumstances.
