The Complete Series of the Famous Wartime Trench Newspaper. A fascinating reproduction of the trench newspaper which provided a satirical and subversive look at the First World War. Taking its name from the army slang for Ypres, where it was first produced, The Wipers Times was similar to Punch, but contained a more specific type of comedy relating exclusively to the soldiers on the Western Front. Foreword by Ian Hislop, and 5,000-word commentary by Malcolm Brown, a leading military historian and author. Now in paperback.
