Description:
Milestone Publications, Portsmouth, first edition, 1985. Cloth, 4to, 26 cm,. 255 pp, numerous ills. From the blurb - "Bruce Bairnsfather created the best known cartoon character of the First World War - "Old Bill", and he drew what many consider to be the most enduring cartoon of all time - the "Better 'Ole". To those who experienced the privations of the years 1914-1918, the value of Bairnsfather's contribution to the morale of the nation, through laughter, is without question. To many he was "the man who won the war". In this first biography of the man and his work, the authors trace his life in fascinating detail.

Description:
Milestone Publications, Portsmouth, 1985. 0903852659 . First edition quarto, 255 pages profusely illustrated in black & white. Fine red cloth hard back with a fine unclipped dust jacket. No inscriptions or marks, an excellent copy. Bruce BairnsfatherÆs cartoons were to the general public during World War I what Bill MauldinÆs cartoons were to be in World War II. His ôIf you know of a better æole ù get to itö may be the most famous cartoon of all time. His humorous portrayals of ordinary soldiers in the trenches were a great morale booster and were still serving as an inspiration years later during the dark days of the Second World War. Over the years, particularly in Britain, a vast array of Bairnsfather collectables have appeared, such as plates, cups, mugs, car mascots and ashtrays. Renowned World War I tour guides Tonie and Valmai Holt provide a heavily illustrated guide to the world of Bairnsfather collectibles, and a detailed account of the man…
