EDITORS COMMENTS
This editorial from The Wipers Times, or Salient News, published on March 6, 1916, offers a humorous glimpse into the challenges faced by the satirical newspaper during the First World War. The Wipers Times was a trench newspaper produced by British soldiers stationed in the Ypres Salient in Belgium. In this editorial, the editor apologizes for the delay in publishing the third issue, attributing the delay to the inclement weather and the jealousy of their competitors, "Messrs. Hun and Co." The editor's lighthearted tone belies the harsh realities of life in the trenches, where the weather and the enemy posed constant threats. The reference to the "wall coming down on our machine" suggests that the newspaper's production facilities may have been damaged, further delaying the publication. Despite these challenges, the Wipers Times continued to bring humor and morale to the soldiers, providing a valuable source of entertainment and connection to home. This editorial is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the soldiers who produced it, and serves as a reminder of the unique challenges faced by those on the front lines during the First World War.
