Affront from the Rear: A Moment of Unease in the Heart of the War (1915) by Charles Crombie Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, a brief moment of levity is captured in this humorous cartoon by British artist Charles Crombie. The scene unfolds in a restaurant, where a weary British officer, dressed in his khaki uniform, is momentarily startled by the shadow cast by a passing waiter and his fruit bowl. The officer, with a look of alarm on his face, seems to be on the brink of jumping out of his seat, his meal forgotten in the sudden surge of fear. The waiter, unaware of the commotion he has caused, continues on his way, his shadow looming large and menacing over the unsuspecting diner. The cartoon, titled "Affront from the Rear," offers a glimpse into the everyday experiences of soldiers during the war, where even the most mundane moments could be transformed into moments of fear and uncertainty. The use of shadows to create a sense of tension and suspense adds to the overall humorous effect, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. The image also serves as a reminder of the small pleasures and comforts that soldiers sought out during their downtime, such as a warm meal in a restaurant. Despite the looming threat of danger, life went on, and moments of respite were cherished. This cartoon, created in 1915, offers a unique perspective on the human experience during the First World War, one that is often overlooked in the midst of the larger historical narrative. Charles Crombie's work continues to be a valuable contribution to the historical record, providing insight into the lives of soldiers and civilians during a time of great upheaval and change.
