Description'With the Jericho Jocks' by Private J. Brooks. These four cartoons humorously chart the movements of one particular Scottish soldier, or 'Jock'. In the first, he is lying along the ground in the rain and mud, with a very large drip hanging off his nose. Positoned at 'THE OBSERVATION POST', he looks straight ahead and is totally oblivious to the large shells hurtling past. He is then seen during 'THE RECONNAISSANCE' and 'THE STUNT'. In the final cartoon, 'A BASIN-FULL', he suffers a blow to the head. The cartoons shown are the first four in a sequence of eight that were included in this edition of 'Blighty'. The last four show the wounded 'Jock' being stretchered to the nearest field hospital. The cartoon was drawn by Private J. Brooks of the 2nd London Scottish Regiment. The name of the regiment suggests that is was formed from Scottish soldiers enlisting in London. It is very likely, therefore, that Brooks himself was a Scot.
