EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative wall plaque, titled 'A Memento of the Great War,' serves as a poignant reminder of the experiences and hardships endured during World War I. The intricately designed ornate border of the plaque showcases various symbols associated with the war effort. A plane soaring through the sky represents the technological advancements and the newfound importance of air power in modern warfare. Shells and tins symbolize the destructive nature and harsh living conditions of the battlefield. Barbed wire, a common sight on the Western Front, signifies the trenches and the brutal stalemate that characterized much of the conflict. At the center of the plaque, a charming cartoon depicts the popular World War I character 'Old Bill' from the works of British satirical artist, Sgt. Bruce Bairnsfather. Known for his humorous and insightful illustrations, Old Bill is shown in this piece with the caption 'I likes me drop o' rum,' reflecting the soldiers' longing for comfort and a taste of home amidst the chaos and hardships of the war. This beautiful and historically significant piece, produced by Bairnsfather Ware, is a testament to the resilience and morale of the soldiers during the First World War. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in this global conflict and the enduring impact of their experiences on history.
