Wartime Cartooning: A Legacy of Laughter

Dr Philippa Gregory will be joining us for the first time to discuss the nature and use of cartooning in the First World War, the icons it created, some of the people who created the images and its legacy, both in the next war and through on to the modern day.

Pip came to her current interest in a roundabout way, via a BA in Theology, a detour through medieval literature, secondary teaching then back to academia and an MA in Modern History, followed by a PhD focused on cartoon humour through the Great War and its lasting memory.

Members and non-members of The Western Front Association are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
