Fragments from France is a book written by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, a British soldier who served in World War I. The book is a collection of humorous cartoons and sketches that depict life on the front lines of the war. Bairnsfather’s cartoons became very popular among soldiers on both sides of the conflict and helped to boost morale during a time of great hardship and suffering. The book is divided into several sections that cover different aspects of life in the trenches, including food, shelter, and the daily struggles of soldiers. Bairnsfather’s sketches are witty, irreverent, and often satirical, poking fun at the absurdity of war and the pompousness of military leaders. The book is a unique and important document of World War I and remains a classic of British humor to this day.1917.
