Amongst the Kitcheners and Very Nice Too: A Humorous Take on Life in the Trenches during World War 1 This charming postcard, dated circa 1915, offers a lighthearted glimpse into the experiences of British soldiers on the Western Front during World War 1. The image depicts a soldier in full military uniform, complete with khaki jacket, helmet, and rifle slung over his shoulder. With a mischievous grin, he holds up a sign that reads, "I m amongst the Kitcheners, and very nice too." The reference to "Kitcheners" is a clever play on words, as it alludes to both Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War who spearheaded the recruitment efforts for the British Army during the war, and the kitchen where the soldier is presumably stationed. The soldier's pun is further emphasized by the background, which shows a bombardment in progress, with explosions and plumes of smoke rising in the distance. Despite the dangerous conditions, the soldier finds humor in his situation, perhaps as a coping mechanism to deal with the harsh realities of life in the trenches. The image also highlights the importance of catering and cooking in the military, with a large pot and steam rising from it in the foreground. The soldier's sign also alludes to the patriotic fervor of the time, with the use of the word "nice" suggesting that serving one's country was a desirable and honorable pursuit. Overall, this humorous postcard offers a unique perspective on the experiences of British soldiers during the First World War, highlighting their resilience, sense of humor, and patriotism in the face of danger.
