His Christmas Goose
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic illustration by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, created on the 27th of November in the year 1916, for The Bystander magazine's series titled "Old Bill." This iconic image depicts a soldier on sentry duty, gazing hungrily at a goose roasting on a spit in the background. The caption beneath the illustration reads, "You wait till I comes off dooty." Bairnsfather's series of cartoons, which captured the essence of ordinary soldiers and their experiences in the trenches during World War I, became immensely popular and remain an enduring legacy of Great War humor. The image of the soldier longing for his Christmas goose resonated with the soldiers themselves, who were far from home and family during the holiday season. The illustration, which is a testament to the human spirit and the ability to find humor in even the most challenging circumstances, is a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during wartime. The image has been preserved and is now available as a print, providing a glimpse into the history of the Great War and the daily life of soldiers during that time. Bairnsfather's work, which was imported from the Illustrated London News, was a source of comfort and entertainment for soldiers and civilians alike. The series of cartoons, which depicted the realities of trench life with a touch of humor, offered a much-needed respite from the harsh realities of war. Today, "His Christmas Goose" remains a cherished piece of history, a reminder of the human spirit and the enduring power of humor to bring joy and comfort even in the most challenging of circumstances. The image continues to inspire and delight, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War.
