EDITORS COMMENTS
In the quiet sanctuary of a French parlor during the tumultuous year of 1917, two refined women engage in a conversation, their elegant postures and finely-dressed attire a stark contrast to the chaos of the ongoing First World War outside. The woman on the left, her eyes wide with intrigue, listens intently as her friend, a graceful Frenchwoman, shares an amusing anecdote. The soldier friend of the speaker, a dear companion, is known for his heavy use of army slang, making their conversations a challenge. With a gentle smile, the woman announces her plan to employ an interpreter during the soldier's next leave. The colloquial language of the battlefield, while a source of camaraderie and bonding among soldiers, proves to be an obstacle for the ladies at home. This charming cartoon, created in 1917, offers a humorous glimpse into the daily lives of women during wartime, as they navigate the unique challenges of communicating with their soldier friends who have returned from the front lines.
