Winslow Mortimer pen/ink cartoon entitled "Charging Colonel/Musical Private/Private on Guard Duty." The cartoon appears to show two (or perhaps three?) seperate scenes. On the right, a soldier seated on a wooden crate is playing the fiddle. Beside him, and perhaps listening to his sad song, a soldier with his rifle over his left shoulder is crying. Both men are wearing helmets.
To the right, an older mustached man is being carried on the back on a younger man. The younger man is running, and the man on his back is holding an outstretched sword as if he is charging an unseen enemy ahead of them. The cartoons are not signed.Made/Created
