Are you as one of these? H. M. Bateman cartoon
" Are you as one of these? A few splendid fellows who are unfortunately debarred from meeting the Germans - and why." This cartoon during the enlistment drive at the beginning of the First World War mocks various men who are reluctant to volunteer for the army for a variety of ludicrous reasons. A million men signed up to fight the Germans in 1914, and this Bateman cartoon reveals the attitude of social pressure to enlist, as it almost goads the reader by asking him whether he too is looking for excuses not to volunteer. Date: 1914
