Description

A decorated open tourer car representing 'The Protection of the Treaty' prepares to travel in a procession in aid of the Wounded Soldiers Fund. A soldier is driving the car while a woman stands beside him holding a pole with a Union Jack flag. She is wearing a patriotic outfit which includes another flag. A model of a British bulldog has been attached to the bonnet of the car. The fund raises money for the comfort and repatriation of wounded soldiers.
