DescriptionBy Corporal G.H. Warwick, this cartoon shows an officer called Dr. Doolan clinging desperately to the neck of a horse as it rears up, while a sergeant shouts at him with advice. The caption reads: 'Instructor: "PULL UP, PULL UP, SIR - YOU MUSTN’T GALLOP THE HORSE LIKE THAT!" / Dr. Doolan: "ALL ROIGHT, ALL ROIGHT, SERGEANT! OI'M ONLY SHOWING THE BHOYS HOW TO DO AN HOUR'S EXERCISE IN TWINTY MINUTES."' The artist who drew this cartoon was not a well-known cartoonist. This is not surprising, however, since many of the contributors to 'Blighty' magazine were soldiers rather than professional artists and writers.
