Those Raiders at the Seat of War

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and iconic cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, first published in The Bystander on October 12, 1917, during the height of World War I. This poignant and humorous work of art captures the essence of the trenches and the daily struggles of soldiers in the Great War. In the image, two weary soldiers, Bert and another unnamed soldier, are seen huddled together in a trench, their bayonets fixed and at the ready. The scene is set against the backdrop of a chaotic battlefield, with explosions and gunfire in the distance. The caption reads, "I wish you'd put a cork on that blinkin pin of yours, Bert!" Bairnsfather, a British soldier and cartoonist, created this work while serving on the Western Front. His cartoons, which were published weekly in The Bystander, provided a much-needed respite for soldiers and civilians alike, offering a glimpse into the daily life and camaraderie of the soldiers in the trenches. The cartoon's title, "Those Raiders at the Seat of War," refers to the soldiers' readiness for a raid, a tactic used by both sides to gain ground and disrupt the enemy's lines. The soldiers' focus on the minor inconvenience of one soldier's bayonet, rather than the imminent danger of the raid, highlights the absurdity and dark humor of their situation. This print is an important historical artifact, offering a unique and insightful perspective on the experiences of soldiers during World War I. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and camaraderie of the soldiers, even in the face of unimaginable hardships and danger. The cartoon's enduring popularity is a testament to its ability to capture the human spirit and the power of humor to provide comfort and connection in times of adversity.
