The Warriors Return, satirical postcard

A wounded soldier, drawn as a wooden puppet and carrying his own broken-off leg, looks at a WD (War Department) signpost pointing to the workhouse. A workman with his tools, also in the form of a wooden puppet, calls out Hard Lines over his shoulder. The card is a commentary on the lack of welfare provision for those returning disabled from the Boer War
