Date 1919
Description A Murmansk Murmur by Bruce Bairnsfather, WW1 cartoon
Details

"Don't that make ye blinkin' well wild, Bert?" Old Bill, the soldier character created by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather in The Bystander, together with his old pal Bert, are stationed in Murmansk, in the far North West of Russia, occupied by the Allies between 1918 and 1920. Old Bill regards a dove of peace, heading for Europe with a certain element of cynicism since Russia at this time was still in the middle of civil war.
