EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful and humorous illustration by British cartoonist H.M. Bateman, titled "The Second-Lieutenant Who Joined his Regiment Complete with Wife" (1929), captures the unexpected arrival of a young and newlywed second lieutenant with his wife at an overseas military camp. The scene is filled with surprise and disbelief from the officers and staff, as the unconventional couple steps off the boat, with no other wives in sight. Bateman's signature wit and humor are on full display as the lieutenant's turbaned head is dwarfed by his wife's oversized suitcase, while a tiger rug adorns the back of their cart. The contrast between the serious military setting and the playful, unconventional couple adds to the amusing and lighthearted tone of the illustration. This charming print, created in 1929, offers a glimpse into the past and the unique perspective of H.M. Bateman, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage illustrations or military memorabilia.
