Thoroughness
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and humorous cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander on October 23, 1915, during the first World War. The image captures the essence of Colonel Chutney, V.C., a soldier who has recently returned home on leave, attempting to maintain a connection to the trenches and the rigors of army life. Colonel Chutney, dressed in civilian attire, stands in a greenhouse, surrounded by lush vegetation, holding a watering can and wearing a thoughtful expression. A soldier in uniform, presumably a member of his staff, stands outside the greenhouse, calling out, "What time shall I call you in the morning, sir?" Bairnsfather's cartoon masterfully conveys the contrast between the comforts of civilian life and the harsh realities of the battlefield. Colonel Chutney's decision to maintain a greenhouse and keep in touch with his troops through this mundane task highlights the thoroughness and dedication that characterized the British military during the First World War. The cartoon also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during this period. While Colonel Chutney may be enjoying a brief respite from the horrors of war, he is still deeply connected to the military life that consumed him for so long. Bairnsfather's "Thoroughness" is a testament to the enduring spirit of the British military during World War I and a reminder of the unique challenges and experiences faced by soldiers during this time. This historical cartoon continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into the past and the human stories that shaped the course of history.
