EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War in 1916, a group of old soldiers gather in the quiet square of a French town, their worn uniforms a stark reminder of the battles they once fought. The eldest of them, with a determined look in his eyes, shares a heartfelt conversation with his comrades. Once strong and proud soldiers, they are now too old to enlist and join the ongoing conflict. The old soldier, his face etched with the lines of time and the weight of past experiences, leans forward in his chair, listening intently to his fellow veterans. His wife's constant bickering and the monotony of life at home have become unbearable, and he longs for the camaraderie and purpose that the battlefield once provided. The other soldiers, their faces reflecting similar sentiments, nod in understanding. They too share stories of their past glories and the hardships they have endured. The square, filled with the sound of their laughter and the clinking of their glasses, becomes a sanctuary where they can momentarily escape the harsh realities of war and the passage of time. This poignant cartoon, titled "The Right Way," captures the essence of the human spirit and the enduring bond between soldiers. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the importance of cherishing the moments of joy and companionship in life, even amidst the darkest of times.
