EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous postcard, created by amateur soldier artist George Ranstead during the turbulent times of World War I around 1916, offers a lighthearted glimpse into the harsh realities of the battlefield. The image depicts a seasoned sergeant standing next to a young, green-faced recruit, both dressed in the iconic uniform of the British Tommies. The sergeant, with a stern expression, hands a bomb to the new recruit with the words, "Ere you are! Throw this!" written below. The recruit, looking terrified and unsure, clutches the bomb with both hands, his eyes wide with fear. The use of humor in this postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find levity even in the most challenging circumstances. Ranstead's artwork captures the essence of the camaraderie and the shared experience of the soldiers on the battlefield. The image also highlights the harsh training and the importance of teamwork in the face of danger. The postcard, part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique insight into the daily life of the soldiers during the Great War. It is a testament to the resilience and the sense of humor that helped the soldiers cope with the unimaginable horrors of the battlefield.
