EDITORS COMMENTS
"In the aftermath of the First World War, the battlefield gave way to the golf course for many retired military officers, including this unflappable Army commander from 1918. Known for his bravery and composure under fire, he cut an imposing figure on the battlefield. However, as this humorous cartoon by H.M. Bateman depicts, the tranquility of the golf course was a stark contrast to the chaos of the battlefield. The unexpected proximity of a stray golf ball to his head in 1920 evoked consternation and blustering rather than the calm response he once exhibited in the heat of battle. Bateman's "Action and Reaction" cartoon from 1920 captures the amusing and relatable moment of transition from the battlefield to the golf course, highlighting the enduring humour and humorous nuances of military life both during and after the Great War." This image is a historical print from the early 20th century, depicting a retired Army commander experiencing a moment of consternation while playing golf. The cartoon, titled "Action and Reaction," was created by renowned British cartoonist H.M. Bateman in 1920. The print captures the humorous contrast between the commander's unflappability in battle and his reaction to a stray golf ball on the green. The image is a testament to the enduring humour and nuances of military life, both during and after the First World War. This print is a unique piece of historical art that offers a glimpse into the experiences of military personnel during this period.
