From Satirical Cartoons to Memes
This article reflects on the different ways of approaching cartoons in today’s history classrooms, using the links drawn between other forms of graphic humour familiar to students, such as memes. We discuss strategies that allow students to develop their critical reasoning skills, in ways that are applicable both to the understanding of the First World War and to the global and digital world in which they live.

The role of a soldier is a staple of computer games and the Second World War remains the most referenced and depicted conflict within the medium.
