# "War Babies" - Judge Magazine, November 23, 1922 This satirical illustration depicts babies in a carriage labeled "War Babies," drawn by a soldier in military uniform. The babies appear as various anthropomorphized objects—including what seem to be weapons or military equipment styled as infants. The title references children born during or immediately after World War I (1914-1918, U.S. involvement 1917-1918). The satire likely critiques the generation born from wartime circumstances—possibly commenting on illegitimate births, hasty wartime marriages, or the societal disruption caused by the Great War. The soldier pushing this "carriage" of military-styled babies suggests the war's lasting legacy and burden on society in the post-war period.
