Augusts Three
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and iconic cartoon by British satirical illustrator, Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander magazine on February 18, 1916, during the height of World War I. This poignant and humorous cartoon, with the caption "Veni, Vidi, Vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered), captures the essence of the war experience and the optimistic spirit of the soldiers in the face of adversity. The image depicts three soldiers huddled around a makeshift campfire in a muddy trench, each one holding a bottle of alcohol. The soldier on the left, with a weary expression, is labeled "August," representing the month of their arrival at the front lines. The soldier in the middle, labeled "September," appears more relaxed and content, having adapted to the harsh conditions of war. The soldier on the right, labeled "October," is shown with a cheerful and hopeful expression, looking forward to the end of the war and the return to civilian life. Bairnsfather's use of humor and satire in "Augusts Three" provides a glimpse into the daily life and morale of soldiers during WWI. The cartoon also serves as a reminder of the resilience and optimism of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of circumstances. Bairnsfather's work, including "Augusts Three," was widely popular during the war and continues to be celebrated as an important historical record of the era. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique and insightful look into the history of WWI and the experiences of the soldiers who fought in it.
