本文分析了三件第一次世界大战期间含有娱乐足球图像的艺术品。这三个图像，在战争的剧院，炮兵在足球和毒气的翅膀，从战争开始到结束，并讨论了在前线地区的娱乐足球的发展，审查和宣传的不断发展的政策，并考虑到英国的民族情绪。这篇论文展示了足球是如何从战争初期的一种自发的、即兴的消遣方式，到战争结束时成为一种组织良好的娱乐活动的。这些图像展示了1914年一个自信的国家是如何将战争描绘成一个暂时的事件，到1918年，一个半永久性事件将被忍受;然而，所有三件艺术品都表明，英国士兵的运动精神，因此战斗精神是完整的。
In this article, three artworks of the First World War containing images of recreational football are analysed. These three images, In the Wings of the Theatre of War, Artillery Men at Football and Gassed, span the war from its beginning to its conclusion and are discussed in relationship to the development of recreational football in the front-line area, the evolving policies of censorship and propaganda and in consideration of the national mood in Britain. The paper shows how football went from being a spontaneous and improvised pastime in the early stages of the war to a well organized entertainment by war’s end. The images demonstrate how the war was portrayed as a temporary affair by a confident nation in 1914 to a more resigned acceptance of a semi-permanent event to be endured by 1918; however, all three artworks show that the sporting spirit, and hence the fighting spirit, of the British soldier was intact.
