Date	1919
Description	Makes you F(i)ume, doesn't it? by Bruce Bairnsfather
Details	'If only OUR National Poet would take Heligoland and refuse to leave it until it's ours!' Caricature of George Robey (1869-1954), music hall entertainer and comedian, pictured refusing Heligoland. The cartoons comments on Robey's refusal of a knighthood at the end of the First World War (he was awarded the CBE and would accept a knighthood after the Second World War). The supreme war council at Paris decided that fortifications at Heligoland should be dismantled and that it could be restored to Britain who decided to refuse it due to the cost of maintaining the port.
