Title A name given to the resource Keep smiling! : More news by Liarless for German homes Subject The topic of the resource In the 1916 special war edition of Punch Almanack, titled Keep Smiling! More News by Liarless for German Homes, a cartoon by John Hassall satirizes the practice of physical mutilation in order to malinger, with a caption that reads: “Almost the only persons who are making a respectable income in London now are the bone-breakers. Young men are flocking in their thousands to doctors who make a specialty of breaking a leg, or an arm, or even a neck, in order to make them of no use to the press gang.” The accompanying cartoon depicted men leaving a doctor’s office on crutches and bandaged, while in the background, a doctor leans insidiously towards a third man. The sign over the door reads “bones broken while you wait.” While this cartoon is intended as a parody, the draft was in effect by 1916, and men both on the home front and men at the front line found ways to physically injure themselves in order to be sent home or to avoid recruitment. On the front lines, voluntary or involuntary attempts to elude military service presented the threat of treason.
