"The Incorrigibles. New arrival at the Front; What's the Programme, Old Hand; Well, you lay down in this water, and you get peppered all day and night, and you have the time of your life. New arrival; Sounds like a bit of all right. I'm on it" is a satirical illustration by Frederick Henry Townsend, a British artist and cartoonist who lived from 1868 to 1920. This work, often shortened to "The Incorrigibles," was created during World War I and is known for its depiction of the grim realities of trench warfare through a lens of dark humor.

The illustration features a conversation between a new recruit, referred to as the "New arrival," and a more experienced soldier, the "Old Hand." The Old Hand describes the dire conditions of life in the trenches—lying in water and being under constant threat of enemy fire—as if it were an enjoyable experience. The New arrival responds with naive enthusiasm, indicating his ignorance of the true horrors of war.

Townsend's work is reflective of the British stiff upper lip and the use of humor to cope with the dire circumstances faced by soldiers during the Great War. His illustration serves as a poignant commentary on the disconnect between the expectations of new soldiers and the brutal reality of the front lines. The piece is also an example of the type of morale-boosting material that was common in publications of the time, aiming to maintain public support for the war effort despite the high human cost.

As an artist, Townsend contributed to various publications, including Punch magazine, where his illustrations often provided a satirical take on current events. "The Incorrigibles" is a testament to his ability to blend wit with a stark message, a characteristic that made his work both popular and influential during his time.
