The Child's ABC of the War


Images Can Be Enlarged by Clicking on Them.

Here's a selection of pages from a 1915 British publication that bizarrely attempted to "sell"  the delights and nicer side of war to kids, while making sure they understood who the real baddies were. The full work can be found online, courtesy of Florida State University, HERE.  It's worth a look. By the way, Ruskin House in London has been ground zero for Britain's progressive movement for a century. 
























Thanks to regular contributor Bryan Alexander for bringing this gem to our attention. MH
