Description
This drawing was created as a cartoon in Active Service, AWM, 1941. This image is a cartoon strip with four cells. In the first cell, two senior officers in uniform sit at a table in the officer's mess being waited on by a large rough looking orderly. In the next image they are nervously ordering a breakfast of bacon and eggs. The third cells shows they have finished eating and one officer has asked for more. Finally, the orderly startles the two officers by standing over their table to respond to the request for a second breakfast.
