Department of vet's despairs
Description
Six figures under the title 'Dept of Vet's Dispairs'. Two are looking sick and stressed, while another is carrying a 'Medical File'. The other three figures are laughing and one is saying "Righto men get out the rule books, our ones that is!!!". This work illustrates the problems encountered by Vietnam Veterans in attempting to get compensation for their injuries and illnesses suffered following the war.
