Captain Bruce Bairnsfather's sketches set all England chuckling, when they first appeared in the Bystander, and they have met with as hearty a welcome by Americans who have had the luck to see them. Greatest of all commendation, German prisoners have been known to become hilarious over these indescribable pictures of life in the trenches, and war-fed "Tommys" roar over them. Now, with their amusing captions, they have been gathered into one volume.
These pictures have won in England for the author the title "The man who made the Empire laugh," and caused the Literary Digest to refer to him as "A War Lord of Laughter." They are all war pictures, but calculated to take a deal of the bitterness out of war.

"'Bill,' 'Bert,' and 'Alf' have turned up again. Captain Bairnsfather has written a book—a rollicking and yet serious book—about himself and them, describing the joys and sorrows of his first six months in the trenches. His writing is like his drawing. It suggests a masculine, reckless, devil-may-care character and a workmanlike soldier. Throughout the book he is as cheerful as a schoolboy in a disagreeable football match."—London Evening News.
