DescriptionCartoon by Gunner R.J. Walsh. This cartoon shows a rather red-faced staff officer sitting at his desk, shouting down the telephone at an army telephonist who looks remarkably unconcerned. The caption reads: 'Staff Officer (to Yankee Telephonist who has got on his nerves): "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO, MY MAN?" / Y.T. (cheerfully): "NOPE! THIS IS A TELEPHONE - NORRA 'SCOPE."' This special summer edition of 'Blighty' was made up of contributions from soldiers and sailors on active service. A similar edition was also brought out for Christmas. Throughout the year, however, 'Blighty' made a weekly appearance and usually included at least two pages of contributions from servicemen.
