In George Orwell’s book, Animal Farm, the characters refer to each other as “Comrade.” Orwell said he used the salutation as it reflects the popular use of the word in Russia. The novel was written in a setting leading up to events of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. And it was published in England in 1945.

One of the characters was Snowball, an ideologue typifying communism. If I'm not mistaken I think Orwell served in a war (not world war) and it was there he had exposure to Trotskyism, thus the character Snowball and perhaps the use of "comrade'.
