November 11, 1918: The Great War Results - A Hand-Drawn Postcard from the Front This unique and poignant postcard, drawn by a British soldier on Armistice Day, 1918, offers a horse racing-style pastiche of the winners, losers, and 'also rans' of the Great War. The soldier's meticulous hand captures the spirit of the historic moment as the world celebrated the end of the war that had claimed millions of lives. At the top of the postcard, the heading reads "November 11, 1918: The Great War Results." Below, the soldier has listed the major powers involved in the conflict, each represented by a horse and rider, with the outcome of the 'race' determined by the war's outcome. The 'winners' column includes the Allied Powers, with horses galloping triumphantly towards the finish line. The 'losers' column, unfortunately, is populated by the Central Powers, with their horses lagging behind or falling behind. The 'also rans' column lists neutral countries and other minor players in the war. The postcard's intricate details and thoughtful composition offer a unique perspective on the historical significance of Armistice Day and the end of World War I. The soldier's artistry and creativity serve as a poignant reminder of the human experience of war and the triumph of peace.
