The Whip Hand, by Bairnsfather
The Whip Hand Private Mulligatawny (the Australian stock-whip wonder) frequently causes a lot of bother in the enemys trenches Bruce Bairnsfathers " stock whip" cartoon sums up the practical, self-reliant, rough and ready boldness associated with the Aussies. Most Anzac troops were deployed in the Middle East, and of course at Gallipoli, before being sent to the Western Front in 1916 (the time of this picture). the Australians were no walkover, and many felt bitterly let down by what they considered the badly judged British command and the resultant poorly organised British troops. One Australian mining engineer railed against the " British staff, British methods and British bungling". the Australians and New Zealanders proportionately suffered some of the highest losses of the war, and the image of the Anzac soldier remains one of the most iconic. Date: 1916

The Whip Hand
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Bruce Bairnsfather is a classic World War I cartoon depicting a daring Australian soldier, Private Mulligatawny, using his stock whip to cause chaos in the enemy's trenches. The image captures the practical, self-reliant, and bold spirit of the Anzac troops, who were predominantly deployed in the Middle East and at Gallipoli before being sent to the Western Front in 1916. The Australians and New Zealanders, collectively known as Anzacs, were no pushovers, and many felt deeply disappointed by what they perceived as poorly judged British command and the resulting disorganized British troops. The Anzac soldiers suffered some of the highest proportional losses of the war, and their image has become one of the most iconic symbols of the conflict. This cartoon, created in 1916, reflects the frustration and determination of the Anzac soldiers as they faced the challenges of trench warfare on the Western Front. The use of a stock whip, a quintessential Australian tool, adds to the rugged and resourceful image of the Australian soldier. The barbed wire in the foreground and the German soldiers in the background underscore the harsh realities of warfare during this period. This cartoon is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Anzac soldiers and their unique contribution to the Allied war effort during World War I. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and the enduring legacy of the Anzac spirit.
