Putting the Screw on by Bruce Bairnsfather, WW1 cartoon
The above exclusive photograph (received via Amsterdam and Singapore) shows clearly the consternation in German official circles on receipt of the amended armistice terms for February, in which 1, 000 egg spoons, 50 cruets, and 6 sausage separators are demanded. These harsh terms are, of course, intolerable. Skit by Bruce Bairnsfather in the Bystander alluding the stereotypical view that most Germans were waiters (and liked sausages!)
