The Bystander being read in a British trench
A sentry keeps watch in a British trench while his comrade spends his turn off duty reading a copy of the Bystander, the latest issue of this journal, with its reminders of the humours of life in the trenches and joys of life in England now. The Bystander, which ran from 1903 to 1940 (when it merged with The Tatler), was a high quality weekly illustrated magazine, first published by The Graphic and later part of the Illustrated Newspapers group. It cover sport, society, fashion, politics, entertainment and the arts, and published many cartoons and humorous illustrations covering topics of the day. Its lively blend of news, comment and gossip was particularly popular during the First World War. Bruce Bairnsfather, whose Ole Bill cartoons about trench life gained widespread popularity were published in The Bystander, as were illustrations by William Heath Robinson, H. L. Oakley, George Studdy, H. M. Bateman and many others.
