DescriptionWe withdrew, without fighting' by Arthur Moreland. This cartoon shows British soldiers marching a group of German prisoners away from the lines. A German soldier is depicted saying to one of his counterparts, '"WE WITHDREW, WITHOUT FIGHTING, TO A POSITION PREVIOUSLY PREPARED."' The implication seems to be that the German troops have surrendered in a cowardly manner. Some of the best-known cartoonists and illustrators of the day contributed work to 'Sea-Pie', including Bert Thomas and Lawson Wood. Arthur Moreland was another successful commercial artist, who illustrated series of postcards and contributed to the 'Daily News' as well as to 'Sea-Pie'.
