History coursework- General Haig.
1) What messages are the cartoonist and the writer of the headline trying to give?
From reading source a I can justify the point that the writer is trying to make by stating the specific headline "The day goes well for our patriotic heroes" is that basically not to let families back at home know what really happened otherwise the morale will drastically fall and families will be worried and anxious to know whether their loved ones are still alive.
The cartoon shows the British army as a fist punching the Kaiser straight into the face,as if saying get lost, and punching tem away. As you can see the kaiser looks surprised as the British punch him away. Verdun was just about to be eaten by the Kaiser but the British got there in time and got rid of them. The front line is made out to be the Kaiser and represent the germans and the fist shows the British punching the Germans away, but it doesn't show the Kaiser falling or moving, it just shows them getting punched and them being surprised.
