And no wonder! H.M. Bateman cartoon
"And no wonder!
THE DEAR OLD LADY (as the recruits march by): Dear me, how the fine weather does bring the young fellows out to be sure!"
This cartoon pokes fun at an affluent lady who sees a group of men doing drills and fails to understand that they are volunteers for the army. The theme of the wealthy being unaffected by the war and ignorant to the fighting is a common one in Bateman's cartoons during the First World War
