A Murmansk Murmur by Bruce Bairnsfather, WW1 cartoon
" Don t that make ye blinkin well wild, Bert?" Old Bill, the soldier character created by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather in The Bystander, together with his old pal Bert, are stationed in Murmansk, in the far North West of Russia, occupied by the Allies between 1918 and 1920. Old Bill regards a dove of peace, heading for Europe with a certain element of cynicism since Russia at this time was still in the middle of civil war. Date: 1919

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the frigid expanse of Murmansk, Russia, during the tumultuous year of 1919, Old Bill and Bert, the beloved characters created by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, found themselves among the Allied forces occupying this far-northern outpost. Amidst the harsh Arctic conditions, the pair exchanged witty banter as they observed the world around them. In this poignant moment, Old Bill gazes at a dove of peace, making its way towards Europe, with a hint of skepticism etched on his weathered face. The backdrop of the ongoing Russian Civil War cast a shadow of doubt over the possibility of lasting peace. The cartoon, titled "A Murmansk Murmur," is a testament to the humorous yet insightful commentary on the complexities of war and the human spirit's ability to find levity even in the most challenging circumstances. This image, brought to life by the masterful brushstrokes of Bruce Bairnsfather, offers a glimpse into history, providing a unique perspective on the 1st Great War and the intricacies of the European political landscape during that time.
