Nobbled
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and humorous cartoon by British satirical illustrator, Bruce Bairnsfather, depicting the wearisome and never-ending nature of the First World War as experienced by two British soldiers, Old Bill and Bert, in the year 1916. The soldiers, dressed in their trench uniforms and sitting in a muddy trench, engage in a casual conversation as they contemplate the length of their service. Old Bill, with a weary expression, answers Bert's question about how long he's been in the army by stating "Seven years." Bert, in disbelief, exclaims "Yer lucky, I'm durin'!" This exchange between the two soldiers highlights the monotonous and tedious nature of life in the trenches during the Great War. The cartoon, titled "Nobbled," is a poignant reminder of the soldiers' experiences and the lengthy duration of the conflict. The image of the two soldiers, with their grumbling and grumbling attitudes, is a testament to the human spirit and the ability to find humor in even the most difficult circumstances. The cartoon, created in 1916, is a historical snapshot of the Western Front during the First World War and a valuable addition to any collection of WWI memorabilia.
