'What the War is teaching John Bull': cartoons from The Railway Review, 1914-1918
To mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War, cartoons from 'The Railway Review', weekly newspaper of the National Union of Railwaymen, have been digitised and made available online. The cartoons, drawn by 'DIN', date from August 1914 to December 1918, and include satirical comment on railway working conditions and management, wartime social problems (including profiteering and food shortages), the introduction of women workers, the 1918 general election and plans for post-war reconstruction.
Other documents relating to the First World War are included in our online exhibition First World War 100: conflict and commemoration.
