Poster Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Where Did That One Go To? by Bruce Bairnsfather
The very first cartoon published in The Bystander by Bruce Bairnsfather (later Captain) of the 1st Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment. The cartoon was drawn from experience after the cottage in which he was sheltering near St. Yvon was shelled. The picture was accompanied by the explanatory caption; I have drawn it as well as I can under somewhat difficult circumstances, and, I may say, from first-hand impressions. The picture was the first of hundreds Bairnsfather would produce for The Bystander. Many of them would later be reproduced in special portfolios called Fragments from France as well as on a vast range of merchandise. Date: 1915

Where Did That One Go To?
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a poignant and humorous cartoon by Bruce Bairnsfather, marks the very first publication of his work in The Bystander in 1915. Drawn from his personal experiences during the early days of World War I, this evocative image was created after the cottage where Bairnsfather was taking shelter near St. Yvon was unexpectedly shelled. The artist, who would later be commissioned as a captain in the 1st Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, produced this work under challenging conditions, having witnessed the devastating effects of shelling firsthand. The cartoon depicts a group of British soldiers huddled in a dugout, their expressions a mixture of surprise, amusement, and apprehension as they watch a shell explode outside. The title, "Where Did That One Go To?", reflects the soldiers' momentary confusion and disbelief as they narrowly escape the impact of the explosion. This image, with its blend of humor and raw reality, encapsulates the experiences of trench life on the Western Front during World War I. First published in The Bystander, "Where Did That One Go To?" was the first of hundreds of cartoons Bairnsfather would create for the magazine. Many of these works would later be compiled in special portfolios called Fragments from France and reproduced on a wide range of merchandise. This iconic cartoon remains a testament to the resilience and humor of the soldiers who endured the harsh realities of the war. Bairnsfather's work continues to captivate audiences today, offering a unique and insightful perspective on the human condition during one of the most significant events in world history. This image, created in 1915, stands as a powerful reminder of the experiences of the soldiers who fought and survived the Great War.
