The cartoon features Bairnsfather's iconic character, Old Bill, who is depicted as an ancient campaigner, leaning on his rifle with a thoughtful expression. He has stopped one of his comrades, who is frantically searching for something in his kitbag. Old Bill looks at him with a knowing smile and says, "It is an ancient campaigner, and he stoppeth one of three." The caption encapsulates the weariness and wisdom that comes with long-term military service. The soldier's frenzied search for a small item highlights the importance of the mundane and seemingly insignificant things that can cause great worry and concern in the midst of the chaos and danger of war.

His humorous and insightful depictions of life in the trenches struck a chord with the public and helped to lift morale during the darkest days of the war. This particular cartoon is a testament to the enduring power of humor to find meaning and meaning in the most difficult of circumstances. Overall, "It's the Little Things that Worry" is a poignant and insightful work of art that continues to resonate with audiences today. It offers a glimpse into the daily struggles and anxieties faced by soldiers during the First World War and serves as a reminder of the importance of finding joy and meaning in the midst of adversity.
