Arf a Mo, Kaiser!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Humorous WWI Fundraiser by Bert Thomas During the tumultuous years of the First World War (1914-1918), the grim realities of the Western Front were a far cry from the daily lives of those back home. In an attempt to lighten the spirits of the British public and raise much-needed funds for the soldiers at the front, renowned cartoonist Bert Thomas created a series of humorous illustrations under the title "Arf a Mo, Kaiser!" One of the most iconic pieces from this collection is a cartoon depicting a British soldier, casually leaning against a tree, as he takes a moment to light his pipe. The soldier's expression is one of calm determination, while the caption above him reads, "Arf a mo, Kaiser!", a playful reference to the German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II. Thomas, a member of the Artists Rifles, used his artistic talent to create this poignant yet amusing image. The cartoon was published in various newspapers and magazines, quickly gaining popularity among the public. The purpose of these cartoons was to raise awareness and funds for the supply of tobacco and cigarettes to the frontline soldiers. The impact of Thomas' work was significant, with almost 250,000 pounds being raised through the sale of these prints and related merchandise. The funds were used to provide essential supplies to the soldiers, bringing a small piece of home comfort to those braving the harsh conditions of the Western Front. This powerful combination of humor and humanitarianism resonated with the British public, making "Arf a Mo, Kaiser!" an enduring symbol of the spirit of resilience and camaraderie during the First World War.
