Vindictive, eh?
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a poignant and witty cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander in 1918 during the final stages of World War I, offers a glimpse into the weary and cynical perspective of soldiers Old Bill, Bert, and Alf as they ponder the future. The trio, who had endured the horrors of the war, sit in a trench, their faces etched with exhaustion and resignation. Old Bill, with his pipe clenched between his teeth, asks Bert, "I wonder what they'll do with us when the war's over, Bert?" Bert, with a weary shrug, replies, "I dunno; have them filled with concrete and sunk somewhere, I expect." This powerful and evocative image, created by the renowned British cartoonist, captures the disillusionment and despair felt by many soldiers as they faced the prospect of returning to civilian life after the war. The use of humor, a common theme in Bairnsfather's work, serves to highlight the stark reality of the situation and underscores the emotional toll of the conflict. Bairnsfather's "Vindictive, eh?" is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the profound impact it had on those who fought in it. The cartoon is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the complexities of history and to offer insight into the human experience. This image is a historical record of the First World War and a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of the war or the works of Captain Bruce Bairnsfather. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and the emotional toll of war on those who fought in it.
