About the Book Content: The book is a collection of World War I soldiers' songs, primarily written or improvised by the soldiers themselves, that provide a raw and often explicit look into the humor and daily life in the trenches. It includes lyrics, musical notation, and illustrations by A.A. "Wally" Wallgren. Compilation: The songs were collected and transcribed during and after the war by Lieutenant John Jacob Niles. He edited the collection along with Douglas Moore. Themes: The songs cover a range of themes including illicit affairs, daily life of a soldier, conflict between military ranks, racism, anti-German rhetoric, and death, often in a way that challenged the romanticized portrayal of war found in official Army song books. Publisher: It was published by The Macaulay Company in New York. A wonderful compendium of comic, bawdy and ironic songs sung by soldiers in World War I. With a section of songs sung by the Black soldiers, who were not integrated yet. With interesting notes on the background of the songs, and many cartoons by Wally Wallgren, the official cartoonist of "The Stars and Stripes". Abian A. Wally Wallgren (illustrator).

Contact seller5-star sellerWhat Bill Mauldin and "Willie and Joe" were to World War Two G.I.s, "Wally" Wallgren and his "Helpful Hints" cartoons in "Stars and Stripes" were to World War One doughboys, for both poked fun and army life, army chores, army regulations and the drudgery of military life; Wallgren served with the 5th Marines in the First Divisio…n in France, after the war collecting his cartoons into the popular "Wally: His Cartoons of the A.E.F." in 1919; later he cartooned for "American Legion Magazine" and then had another strip called "Hoosegow Herman." Original cartoon in black ink, signed simply "W" at lower right, heavy stock 7" X 3¼" sheet, n.p., n.y. [Wallgren's Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania home address lightly inkstamped on verso). Near fine. Charming scene -- perhaps a "Helpful Hunts" installment -- depicting two soldiers side by side at a table, the G.I. at left showing the G.I. at right how to open a bottle of French wine. "See!!" he says as he thumps the underside of the bottle and the cork strikes with a "Pop" in his friend's eye. Cream 8½" X 6½" mat with 5¼" X 2½" opening. Wallgren's early work is surprisingly scarce, and this is a delightful example.

Original ink cartoon, heavy stock 4" X 7" sheet, n.p., n.y. (Wallgren's Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania home address lightly inkstamped on verso). Near fine. Wallgren signs simply "W" at lower right, and though not dated, an inkstamped 15 March 1943 on verso is perhaps the date on which this appeared in "American Legion Magazine." Two serviceman in uniform stand at center perusing this magazine, the soldier at left asking "Wot's 'savvy our lingo' mean?" and his pal at right replying "It means we talk the same language!" Caption inked quite large both above and below this scene remarks, "SEND YOUR / MAGAZINE" (at top) "TO A BUDDY / IN SERVICE" (at bottom). Displayed in cream 7" X 8½" mat with 3¼" X 5 3/4" opening.
