Title: Trench Cartoon (Mametz 1916)
Post by: natjam on Tuesday 21 July 09 19:14 BST (UK)

Hi - Anyone know where I could find information on this cartoonist (whose name I can't quite make out - bottom right of cartoon)?  The gentleman on the right is my great grandfather - Royal Welch Fusiliers/Machine Gun Corps - whose photo is my profile pic.
Thanks as always!

The cartoon is initialled HLR 1916 France.  If the artist was an officer it might be possible to find his name in an Army List of around that period, listed under the RWF, otherwise difficult.
