EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print, dated 1917 from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a humorous insight into the daily life of soldiers during the First World War. The image depicts two soldiers in blue uniforms, huddled together in a trench in France. One soldier, with a quizzical expression, asks the other, "What do you pay the sergeant to get all the cushy jobs?" The question is met with a smirk and a knowing nod from the second soldier, suggesting that there is an unspoken understanding between them. The cartoon, titled "Cartoon: Cushy job," is a poignant reminder of the realities of wartime life. While the soldiers endure the harsh conditions of the battlefield, it appears that some positions, perhaps those with more comfort or less danger, are reserved for those with the means or influence to secure them. The use of humor in this image serves to lighten the mood and offer a brief reprieve from the harsh realities of the war. The soldiers' uniforms and the setting of the trench further emphasize the historical context of the cartoon, transporting us back to the events of the First World War. This print is not only a valuable historical document but also a testament to the human spirit and the ability to find humor even in the most challenging of circumstances.
