From Mud to Mufti: With Old Bill on all Fronts

by Bruce Bairnsfather

"The trenches of the Western Front were no laughing matter, but Bruce Bairnsfather's cartoons of Old Bill brought a touch of humor to the horrors of war." From Mud to Mufti: With Old Bill on all Fronts is a collection of cartoons by Bruce Bairnsfather, the creator of the iconic World War I character Old Bill. The cartoons capture the humor and tragedy of life in the trenches, from the boredom and monotony of waiting for the next attack to the terror of being under fire. Bairnsfather's cartoons are both funny and poignant, and they offer a unique glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who fought in the Great War. The book also includes a biographical sketch of Bairnsfather, as well as an introduction by historian Peter Simkins. Simkins provides context for the cartoons, explaining the events and conditions that inspired them. He also discusses Bairnsfather's influence on other artists and cartoonists.
