Trench newspaper

Using humor to deal with difficult circumstances: the English trench newspaper The Wipers Times is offering flamethrowers up for sale as toys.

A trench newspaper or front newspaper is a type of periodical that came into being during the First World War. Trench newspapers were produced for soldiers stationed at the Western Front, which had become bogged down in a trench war. They differ from the official military newspapers in that they were produced within the ranks or by private citizens.[1]
