1918: In Civilian Life

The Medical Officer and the Private are in a temporary relationship. In civilian life the MO would have to be polite to his patient. The Private looks as though he is very certain of this.

1918: Helping the Italians

Apart from the Western Front a number of lesser campaigns were also active for part of the 1914-1918 period. Italy had joined the war on the side of Britain and France. There was fighting on border between Italy and the Austrian Empire. It was felt that Italy needed help from its Allies and a British Expeditionary Force was sent to help the Italians. This cartoon commemorates this assistance. The Austrians were also felt to be in need of help by their German allies. It was on the Italian front that a certain Major Rommel was active.

1918: At last

By the autumn of 1918 this scene no longer represents wishful thinking. Now at long last the war was no longer consigned to the trenches. It was now a war of movement and – finally – the movement consisted of the Allies moving forward and the Germans moving back.

1918: Convalescence

Injured soldiers rarely appear in the pages of Punch. There were many seriously wounded survivors of the war in the trenches.

1918: A different kind of balance

This looks like the sort of thing that could actually have happened. It is often amusing to observe young children trying to make sense of the adult world.

Re: The Pages of Punch

Sorry folks but at the moment I can’t post another entry into this thread. I use Photobucket to upload the pictures onto this site. Unfortunately it doesn’t allow me to do that at the moment. I’ll go on trying until I can do that. This sort of thing has happened before and it did get resolved fairly soon. Let’s hope that this will happen again this time.

OK now!

1918: Temporary civil Servants

It seems that the government was so short of staff that they felt compelled to employ very young girls. We can’t call them women. Look at the length of their skirts. Women still felt obliged to wear something down to their ankles. Not these flibbertigibbets.

1918: Who is that man?

The returning soldier is wise to make a fuss of his young daughter. It is difficult for a child to cope with an abrupt change to the immediate family as she or he perceives it.

1918: Contemplating Germany’s Defeat

The date of this cartoon is significant. We can recognise this knowing as we do that the Armistice took place on November the Eleventh. It is likely that the cartoonist was now able to predict final victory from the daily news bulletins. Compared with earlier displays of ‘hunnish’ awfulness this example of ‘Hansel’ and ‘Gretel’ is fairly gentle.
