EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the grim and miserable realities of the Western Front during World War I, a moment of unexpected humor emerged as two soldiers, Tom and Enry, encountered each other in a flooded trench crater. In this humorous cartoon by Gerald C. Hudson titled "Periscope and All," Tom, soaked and shivering, jumps in fright upon seeing Enry, believing him to be a submarine lurking in the murky depths. The cartoon, dated 1918, offers a brief respite from the harsh realities of trench warfare, where soldiers endured relentless rain, flooded trenches, and the constant threat of enemy shells. The image of Tom's startled expression and Enry's mischievous grin serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find levity even in the most challenging of circumstances. This historical cartoon, with its witty commentary on the wet and submerged trenches, offers a unique perspective on the often overlooked humor of the Tommies' experiences during the First World War.
