World War One humorous postcard by George Ranstead

Humorous illustration on a postcard by George Ranstead, an amateur artist of the Great War who served in the Army Pay Corps and produced a large number of hand drawn postcards during the period. As a girl dreamily contemplates a full moon from the window of her bedroom thinking that her sweetheart is seeing the same thing, wherever he is in France, her other half curses the same moon for providing some very unwelcome light during a nocturnal expedition to lay barbed wire in No Mans Land. The cartoons humour is very much inspired by that of Bruce Bairnsfather, the foremost cartoonist of WWI
