Description	Advertisement for 'Army Club' cigarettes. This cartoon is from the back cover of this issue and was drawn by 'The Tout'. The Morse code along the bottom does indeed spell 'Send up some Army Clubs', as included in the brackets underneath. The use of the word 'priority' suggests that having cigarettes was all important, and this is followed by the outlets and price being given in the bottom left corner.
