EDITORS COMMENTS
In the quiet stillness of the night during the First World War, soldiers huddled in makeshift camps, longing for the comforts of home. This charming and humorous cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander in 1916, captures the essence of soldiers' experiences during wartime. The image features a soldier, ear cocked in frustration, as he lies in his tent, exclaiming "I'm sure they'll hear this damn thing squeaking!" The source of the noise is a water pump, its handle furiously turning in the moonlight. The cartoon's title, "Squeaking Water Pump," adds to the lighthearted tone, reminding us that even in the midst of war, there was room for a bit of humor. Bairnsfather, a British cartoonist, served in the trenches during World War I and drew inspiration from the soldiers and their daily struggles. His cartoons, known as the Old Bill series, became popular for their authentic portrayal of army life and their ability to bring a smile to the faces of soldiers and civilians alike. This signed print, with the artist's autograph in the bottom right corner, is a rare and valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the war. The moonlit scene, with its simple yet evocative details, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the resilience and humor of those who lived through the dark days of the Western Front.
