Next, Please! | The Battle of Vimy Ridge | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars

This cartoon (circa May 1917) by Bruce Bairnsfather, the most famous British cartoonist of the war, celebrates the Canadian victory. The text states rather cheekily, "Vimy! And the next thing please." The triumphant Canadians are ready for more battles.

Hand-drawn cartoon, black and white. A soldier leans one knee into a rise in the ground, standing mostly upright. He holds his gun in his left hand by a strap. His helmet is tilted casually and his right hand holds a cigarette in his mouth. — (Estate of Barbara Bruce Littlejohn.)
