Originally published on the ten-year anniversary of the Armistice, "Happy Days!" is a collection of more than 100 original cartoons by noted illustrator Captain Alban B. Butler Jr., who served as aide-de-camp for Major General Charles Pelot Summerall in 1918. Butler chronicled his tour of duty by creating scores of minutely detailed cartoons that capture life in the trenches of World War I. At once humorous and touching, saucy and direct, these images capture the events of France in spring 1918, and though some might today be considered inappropriate or even offensive if taken out of context, the cartoons reveal the stress, struggles, and situations that grunts dealt with every day.
