Loafers in the park - WW1 recruitment cartoon

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 countrys last line of defence. A cartoon criticising young men who have not answered the countrys call in the early stages of the First World War. Date: 1914
