Description | Demobilisation by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, WW1 cartoon |
Details |
'Owing to demobilisation not exactly synchronising with the taking back of the Hotel Terrific by the management, General Sir Claude Cumbersome has to deal with a lot of returns under most impossible conditions.'
During the First World War, a number of smart hotels were requisitioned for military use. According to this cartoon by Bruce Bairnsfather in The Bystander, the hoteliers have moved back in with the end of the war before the military have moved out!
