EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War in 1916, a moment of levity and camaraderie is captured in this charming cartoon entitled 'Entente cordiale.' In the image, a pretty French woman, dressed in a fashionable red hat with white fur trimming and a muff, engages in friendly conversation with a British soldier. The soldier, donning his khaki uniform complete with leather strap and cap, carries a bayonnet slung over his shoulder. The woman playfully suggests that he send her some postcards as soon as he arrives at Tipperary, a reference to the famous song 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary.' The scene exudes a sense of humor and allied friendship amidst the harsh realities of war. The French and British soldiers, often referred to as 'Tommies,' were united in their efforts to fight against a common enemy, and this image captures the spirit of that alliance. The woman's flirtatious gesture and the soldier's friendly smile add to the lightheartedness of the moment, making this a poignant reminder of the human connection that existed even in the midst of conflict.
