EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous print depicts a group of soldiers huddled around a tin labeled "When the ell is it goin to be strawberry?" The scene is illustrated by renowned British cartoonist Bruce Bairnsfather, who served in the 1st Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment during World War I. The cartoon, titled "Bairnsfather Ware," was produced by Grimwades, a well-known Staffordshire, England-based manufacturer of pottery and ceramics. The soldiers, with weary expressions and hands on hips, appear disappointed as they gaze at the empty tin, which once held preserves. The word "ell" in the title is a colloquial term used in the British military to refer to a long time or a delay. The soldiers are likely expressing their frustration over the delay in receiving their strawberry jam or other fruit supplies. The cartoon, with its wartime setting and humorous take on army life, is a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of soldiers during difficult times. The image also serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the Staffordshire potteries and their role in supplying the military with various goods during World War I. The back of the plate bears the inscription "Grimwades Staffordshire England," indicating its place of origin, and the image is dated to the early 20th century. This unique and intriguing print offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating insight into the daily lives and experiences of soldiers during wartime.
