THE BRUCE BAIRNSFATHER WW1 COLLECTION
Captain (Charles) Bruce Bairnsfather (9th July 1887 - 29th September 1959) was a prominent British cartoonist and humorist. He became world-famous during the First World War as creator of 'Old Bill'. Bill and his pals Bert and Alf featured in Bairnsfather's weekly "Fragments from France" cartoons depicting life at the Front Line. Published weekly in "The Bystander" magazine from 1915, they caught the imagination of both men on the front line and their families back home, Bairnsfather rapidly became a household name during this period and published volumes of his cartoons sold over a million copies. In 1916 he was transferred to the War Office's Intelligence Department, and officially appointed as "Officer Cartoonist", touring the Italian, French and American armies in this role.
