Lettering

In danger of being killed by kindness: wounded soldiers in Fort Napier hospital, Maritzburg drawn by Claude Shepperson from a sketch by A. M. J., c. 1900. Lettering continues: "It is a matter for doubt whether Tommy, when he is sent down invalided from the front, resents what Sir Alfred Milner has called the plague of women ... it may safely be said that he would sooner run the risk of too much kindness rather than miss the thousand and one attentions which have been pressed on him."
