EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I, in the year 1917, soldiers found solace in the companionship of animals, who served as mascots. In this poignant cartoon, a French soldier, clad in a blue uniform and wearing a fez, is seen methodically training his new canine companion. The dog, a loyal and playful addition to the soldier's life, is gradually being weaned off meat, with the soldier holding back a bone as a sign of his determination. The soldier, engrossed in conversation with a comrade, exchanges stories as they sit by a basket and backpack, the weight of their burdens a shared responsibility. The soldier's companion, a monkey perched on the other soldier's shoulder, gazes curiously at the training session. The scene is set against a backdrop of winter, with snow-covered horses and horseshoes, adding to the stark and chilling atmosphere of the battlefield. The soldiers, despite their hardships, find moments of joy and camaraderie in their unlikely animal companions, a testament to the human spirit that endured even in the most challenging of times.
