The Wipers Times

In a bold act of defiance, Captain Fred Roberts founded The Wipers Times, a satirical magazine that would become a beacon of hope and humour in the darkest of times, literally published under enemy fire in the trenches of Ypres, Belgium during World War I. This poignant tribute to human resilience was produced by soldiers themselves, defying authority and gas attacks, and proved a huge success with the troops on the western front.
