"Half a yard nearer and the bl. thing woulda cut my trump": First World War cartoon by M. Crete of downtime in a British trench. It shows three soldiers playing cards around a crate of rations as a shell hurtles into the trench. A fourth soldier is about to drop an ammunition box. Barbed wire and gun emplacements can be seen in the background, as well as a sign saying 'To the Strand Palace Hotel'. The cartoon is on the front of a postcard sent from France in 1918
