EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming caricature captures the spirit of an Australian soldier during the First World War, circa 1916. The soldier, with a mischievous grin and a cigarette in hand, proudly wears the distinctive badge of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) or Australian Expeditionary Force (AEF) on his hat. The Antipodean diggers, as they were affectionately known, were renowned for their tenacity, bravery, and unique sense of humor. During the early years of the war, the Australian and New Zealand troops gained legendary status for their heroic actions in battles such as Gallipoli and the Western Front. This cheeky caricature serves as a reminder of the human side of these brave men, who faced unimaginable challenges and hardships while serving their country. The Australian military forces, which included both the AIF and the Commonwealth Military Forces, were an integral part of the Imperial War Effort. Despite the harsh realities of war, the soldiers managed to maintain a sense of camaraderie and humor, as evidenced by this playful depiction. This caricature, produced circa 1916, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Anzac troops and their enduring legacy. The image is a valuable historical record of a time when the world was forever changed by the events of the First World War.
