Description | Loafers in the park - WW1 recruitment cartoon |
Details |
'Wastage!' "War? Well, wot abart it?" 'The stirring carll to arms - "Your King and Country Need You!" - has still failed to reach, or at any rate to arouse a certain section of our available fighting material. The Park Loafer, for instance, who does not look as if he had any "encumbrances," has apparently decided that he is the country's last line of defence.' A cartoon criticising young men who have not answered the country's call in the early stages of the First World War.
