"Arf a Mo' Kaiser": How Tommy saved Britain's wartime mail order tobacco trade

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.

Members and non-members of The Western Front Association are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
