Screenshot 2025 12 15 131622

"Arf a Mo' Kaiser!" is the caption of an iconic World War I cartoon by British artist Bert Thomas, which became the central image for a successful public fund-raising campaign that supplied tobacco to British frontline soldiers. Former editor of the Express and Star in Wolverhampton will deliver another interesting talk to the branch.
