  First World War.com - Feature Articles - Satirical Magazines of the First World War: Punch and the Wipers Times
The authorship of the Wipers Times is relatively uncertain.
Ivenlaw-Chapman claims that "the target audience of The Wipers Times was young officers in the 19-22 age group, of good background and education, who were well indoctrinated with the Christian ethics of the day and who were constantly aware of their responsibilities as gentlemen" (p.67).
The first is that the submissions emulate articles within the Wipers Times and do not demonstrate such a strong educated background, and the second is their apparent lack of irony; a bluntness in the text which came from the need to express oneself after the constant stress and pressure which came from active service.

As for the science behind the Wipers, Sage insists he never intended it to be a band in the first place and it isn't one now, although drummer Steve Plouf has survived every lineup change since 1985.
The Wipers wound up touring Europe eight times and crisscrossing America four, while managing to bang out 10 albums over 21 years, not counting a live album, a "best of" and a Sage solo album.

The practicalities of trench warfare had created a sudden and often uncomfortable closeness between classes, and therefore The Wipers Times targeted a far wider audience classwise, despite it's relatively limited circulation.
It is a mistake to read it as is so often is today; as a vainglorious and naïve text, but equally it is not a seditious cauldron of anarchic writing and deviant voices.

The problem with selling in times of uncertainty is due to a simple quirk of human nature and is easily seen in a simple example.
In times of uncertainty (like now), selling your customers the advantages they might receive when they move forward with your solution can wait.
On the other hand, if you show them how dangerous it is to drive with the existing wipers and what is going to happen if they don’t change them NOW, you can speed the decision up dramatically.

Even brand-new, super-special windshield wiper blades will do nothing more than smear the salt-stained, oily, slush that covers your windshield soon after a snow.
To cut through the grime and rid your windshield of assorted spots and stains, the wiper blades need the help of fresh, clean and potent solvent from the windshield washer.
For many of us who have to drive through tough winter weather, a working washer is as critical as effective wiper blades.

A complaint with this definition is that its requirement of truth would improperly lead to calling too much scientific reasoning fallacious; every time a new scientific discovery caused scientists to label a previously well-established claim as false, all the scientists who used that claim as a premise would become fallacious reasoners.
Noting that the auto accident rate rises and falls with the rate of use of windshield wipers, one concludes that the use of wipers is somehow causing auto accidents.
Latin for "with this, therefore because of this." This is a false cause fallacy that doesn't depend on time order (as does the post hoc fallacy), but on any other chance correlation of the supposed cause being in the presence of the supposed effect.

If it's wet enough that you have to turn on your windshield wipers, it's probably dark enough that you should turn on your headlights, too.

Frankau was a regular contributor to trench journals such as The Wipers Times, produced by soldiers who were serving in France.
Frankau's work engaged with issues that were highly topical at the time, including the “white slave traffic”, immigration, war neurosis, and psychoanalysis.
This meant that he was unable to stand as a prospective parliamentary candidate for the Conservative Party, and unlike Oswald Mosley, whom he met and admired, and who was also divorced, Frankau was not prepared to compromise his political views and join the Labour Party in order to enter into politics.
