Description'Jericho Jocks' by Private J. Brooks. Last four of a series of eight cartoons. These cartoons comically follow the adventures of one wounded 'Jock' being taken to a field hospital. In the first he is looking rather confused as two men struggle to carry him on a stretcher. He is then seen going towards 'THE OPERATING THEATRE', where he will have 'A FRONT SEAT AT THE PICTURES'. In the theatre he is injected with a very large and very sore-looking 'ANTI-TETANUS INOCULATION'. The final cartoon is entitled the 'GRAND CLIMAX' and shows the soldier in bed being offered something to eat by a nurse. These cartoons are the last four in a sequence of eight that were included in this edition of 'Blighty'. The first four show the events leading up to the 'Jock' being wounded. The cartoonist responsible, Private J. Brooks, was a member of the 2nd London Scottish Regiment. This special summer edition of 'Blighty' was made up of contributions from soldiers and sailors on active service.
