Well, if you knows of a Bette Ole, Go to It
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a famous and humorous phrase coined by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather during the First World War. This image captures the essence of Bairnsfather's unique brand of wit and humor, which he used to lift the spirits of soldiers in the trenches. Captain Bruce Bairnsfather (1888-1959) was a British cartoonist and soldier who served with the 1st Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment during World War I. He is best known for his satirical cartoons depicting the daily life and struggles of soldiers in the trenches. This particular cartoon, published in the Daily Herald on December 16, 1915, shows a group of soldiers huddled around a map, discussing a local tavern named "Bette Ole." The caption reads, "Well, if you knows of a Bette Ole, Go to It," suggesting that the soldiers are planning a much-needed night out to escape the harsh realities of war. Bairnsfather's cartoons were immensely popular with soldiers and civilians alike, and they provided a much-needed respite from the horrors of the war. His work was published in various newspapers and magazines, and he went on to write several books based on his experiences in the trenches. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Captain Bruce Bairnsfather and his unique contribution to military history. The image is a historical print from Mary Evans Prints Online, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and morale of soldiers during World War I. The print is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for rights-managed use only. It is a valuable addition to any collection of military history or World War I memorabilia.
