EDITORS COMMENTS
In the midst of the chaos and hardships of the First World War, the bonds of camaraderie among French soldiers remained unbroken. In this poignant cartoon from 1916, titled "Difficult Extraction," we see a group of soldiers huddled around a colleague who lies down on a makeshift dental chair – a crate – for an impromptu tooth extraction. The patient clutches a handkerchief in his teeth as his friends hold him steady, their determined expressions a testament to their unwavering support. The soldier performing the procedure wields a bayonette as a makeshift dental tool, his blue uniform stained with the grime and sweat of battle. The scene is filled with a sense of solidarity and resilience, as the soldiers put their comrades' needs above their own, even in the most difficult of circumstances. This historical image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of wartime life, and the lengths to which soldiers went to care for one another.
