Fougasse, Kenneth Bird (1887 - 1965)
Fougasse, who served in the Royal Engineers during the First World War, took his pen name from an anti-personnel mine noted for its erratic performance, sometimes it hit the spot and sometimes it didn’t. The only artist to become editor of Punch magazine, Fougasse developed an elegant cartooning style, rendering figures, objects and landscapes in a few bold, fluid lines. One of his most memorable cartoons was ‘Careless Talk Costs Lives’, drawn for a series of government posters in the Second World War.

In 1939, the Admiralty published a report on the shortcomings of Britain’s harbours and dockyards defences. The report was printed at a secure printer in booklet form. Fougasse drew this drawing as the frontispiece. The circulation of the booklet was extremely restricted as the contents would have been of great value to the enemy.
