Description | Patriotism in a British home, WW1 |
Details |
A cosy scene in a British home showing a young man (possibly a wounded sailor?) displaying a Union Jack flag to the rest of his family. His elderly mother looks at it admiringly while a little boy in a sailor suit plays with a toy battleship. The young woman to the right of the picture has her wicker workbox open and appears to be knitting or darning some socks, another patriotic wartime activity.
