EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and humorous cartoon by British artist Lawson Wood, created in the early days of World War I in 1914. The image captures the moment of disappointment and distress on the face of a young boy as two British soldiers take away his cherished toy horse. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, appear unfazed as they carry out the requisition of the horse, which was a common occurrence during the war. The cartoon is a commentary on the vast number of horses that were commandeered by the British Army in the initial stages of the war. Horses were essential for transportation and logistics, and the military's need for them far outweighed the civilian population's supply. The image of the little boy and his toy horse serves as a symbol of the sacrifices and hardships endured by civilians during the war. The cartoon is also a reminder of the stark contrast between the innocence of childhood and the harsh realities of war. The boy's sailor suit and tears add to the emotional impact of the image, making it a powerful and enduring symbol of the human cost of war. Lawson Wood's "Commandeered" is a historical cartoon that provides insight into the experiences of civilians during the early days of World War I. The image is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of the human condition and the impact of war on everyday life. The cartoon remains a popular and beloved piece of World War I history, and a reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by civilians during times of conflict.
