Comments: Wally Wallgren and C. LeRoy Baldridge, the two-person art department of the World War I era military newspaper, The Stars and Stripes, created cartoons that took the newspapers motto to heart: By and For the Soldiers of the A. E. F. Their artistic styles and approaches were different, but as enlisted men who had been to the front lines, their cartoons resonated with their fellow soldiers reading the Official Newspaper of the American Expeditionary Forces, 1918-1919.
