EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and humorous cartoon from 1917, a soldier in full military regalia, complete with blue uniform and bayonette, sits at a table with his godmother. The scene is set in France during World War I, and the godmother, dressed in a traditional French costume, reminds the young soldier of the rationing rules, specifically the limit of two courses during meals. The soldier, with a mischievous grin, replies that they can make up for it with a delicious dessert. The image, filled with a sense of wartime camaraderie and the longing for simple pleasures, is a reminder of the human spirit's ability to find joy and humor even in the most challenging of times. The cartoon, titled 'La Baionnette,' was published in a French magazine during the war and is a testament to the enduring power of art and humor to connect us to history.
