NO CAMOUFLAGE AGAINST NIGHTMARE.
Herr Pickelhauber (Professor of Frightfulness at Prague) now at the Italian Front, is greatly bothered by the recurrence of this dream.
Humorous cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather published in The Bystander and charting his visit to the Italian Front in 1918. Here, an anxious Austrian soldier carrying a shell in a precarious cable car imagines a jolly Alpini cutting the cable before he arrives at this mountainous destination.
