Ok cartoon detectives, mystery time; I have this cartoon from the solider paper Blighty, and I also have a copy in a nurses' autograph book from Denmark Hill Hospital. I am pretty sure I have seen it somewhere else - Bert Thomas perhaps ? #ww1 #ww1 ephemera #fww #cartoonhistory

Researching the chap behind this drawing in one of the #autographbooks I own. It seems he had quite the career. The question I have is; what was his connection to a bunch of school kids from Leigh-on-sea, to whom the book belonged? #ww1ephemera #RWF #RoyalWelchFusiliers #fww

I am starting to go through my personal collection of #WW1Ephemera for my dissertation and this cartoon, from March 1916 Wandsworth Hospital Gazette, is very relevant. #ww1 #fww
