EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a classic moment from the World War I era, as depicted in a cartoon by renowned British satirical artist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather. Titled "You're coming along with me, my lad, as soon as this is over! (Hermann feels he DOES know a better ole)," this cartoon was originally published in The Bystander magazine in 1918. The image showcases Bairnsfather's iconic soldier character, Old Bill, huddled in a shell hole with a German soldier during a relentless bombardment. Old Bill, with a smirk on his face, threatens to take the German captive once the fighting is over, delivering a humorous twist on the theme of the "Better Ole." This cartoon, much like Bairnsfather's other works, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare while also providing a lighthearted take on the camaraderie and banter that existed between soldiers on the Western Front. The cartoon's enduring appeal lies in its ability to humanize the soldiers and their experiences, offering a poignant reminder of the complexities of war and the resilience of the human spirit.
