    ""I hope that this forecast is a true one. If this sketch book is worthy to outlast the days of the war, and to be kept for remembrance on the shelves of those who have lived through it, it will have done its bit. For will it not be a standing reminder of the ingloriousness of war, its preposterous absurdity, and of its futility as a means of settling the affairs of nations?"" This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.

  • Bruce Bairnsfather was the most famous cartoonist of the First World War & his soldier characters Old Bill, Bert & Alf, faced, with sardonic good humour, everything that the Germans, the mud & their officers could throw at them. The cartoons reproduced in this collection were originally drawn for The Bystander, a popular weekly magazine.
