Why aren t they in the Honours List? H. M Bateman WW1 cartoon
" Civilian Heroes of the Great War" Batemans WWI illustrations often mock the upper classes for their oblivion to the true extent to which ordinary people were suffering during the war. The two captions are laden with sarcasm, as the pictures show a series of wealthy people indulging in extra sugar with their tea, extra food with dinner, before lastly showing a man feeling very generous after the token gesture of tipping a taxi driver twopence. With compulsory rationing introduced that same year, Bateman clearly saw the rich as not having too hard a time of it. Date: 1918
