Bruce Bairnsfather (1888–1959)

Bruce Bairnsfather successfully managed to balance humor and introspection with the horrific realities of the war in this marvelous memoir.

I love this book, Bruce Bairnsfather is a famous satirist artist of WWI creating the character ol' Bill.
This is a memoir of his time in WWI working on the front with his machine gunners.
You can feel both his struggle and his humor on the entire situation.

I recommend reading this as well as reading his collection of drawings, Fragments of France.

A marvelous collection of war comics from the humorist Bruce Bairnsfather. I particularly loved “The New Submarine Danger” and “There Was a Young Man of Cologne.” The entire book had me chuckling.

A realy good readI felt this book gave a honest look at life in the trenches during ww I .After reding Fragments from France one gets a sense of life at that time.The book is well worth reading.
