 : In the Wings by Bruce Bairnsfather


In the Wings by Bruce Bairnsfather

Peace still waiting in the wings at the British Empire, whilst the famous crosstalk comedians Conference Brothers present their latest and greatest absurdity - Versailles'. Rather cynical cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather commenting on the prevarication and slow decision making - and, in the opinion of Bairnsfather - the leniency of the Allies towards Germany during the Versailles Peace Conference of 1919
