While searching for Wilfred Owens

Don't know why I posted this at FB; it's more of an LJ topic.

The humor and satire magazines of the WWI era....and soldiers starting their own, to reflect their frustrations that general public magazines didn't want to print for morale reasons.

Note: this is more of an article, so there are just small samples of the humor published in each. Sorry to say not a lot of the text or illustrations of the time. What I found of interest was early zines--The Wiper times, published by soldiers when and where they could set up printing.
