EDITORS COMMENTS
In this and thought-provoking print by Heath Robinson, titled "Launching Draughts" from 1915, we witness another ingenious tactic employed by the Germans during the First World War. The Germans, depicted in the image, are shown blowing into large tubes with the intention of creating a chilling draught in the British trenches. The effectiveness of their plan is evident as British soldiers are portrayed struggling with neck pains, huddled together for warmth. Heath Robinson's cartoon, with its intricate detail and witty humor, offers a unique perspective on the tactics used during the war. The Germans' use of this unconventional method to disrupt the morale and comfort of the British troops is a testament to their strategic thinking and resourcefulness. However, it is important to note that this tactic was in direct violation of the Hague Convention, which prohibited the use of asphyxiating gases in warfare. Despite this, the Germans continued to employ such tactics, demonstrating the harsh realities and ethical complexities of the war. The image, with its stark contrast between the Germans' mischievous grins and the British soldiers' discomfort, offers a poignant commentary on the human cost of war and the lengths to which both sides were willing to go to gain an advantage. Robinson's cartoon, with its timeless humor and insightful commentary, continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a powerful reminder of the past and the importance of peace and human dignity.
