EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical print from the renowned British magazine Punch, published on November 17th, 1915, captures the spirit of Lord Derby's Recruitment Drive during World War I. The Derby Scheme, initiated by Edward Stanley, 17th Earl of Derby, was a voluntary recruitment policy aimed at increasing the number of soldiers joining the British army. The cartoon, titled 'Derbys Day,' depicts a chaotic scene of men being herded like cattle, with Lord Derby leading the procession at the front, wearing a top hat and carrying a large stick. The men, dressed in various outfits and carrying an assortment of objects, appear reluctant and disorganized, reflecting the general sentiment towards military service at the time. The title 'Charivari' at the bottom of the print refers to a noisy, rowdy procession, often used as a form of public shaming or ridicule. The use of humor and satire in this print was a common tactic employed by Punch to engage its readers and encourage them to reflect on current events. As a British institution with an international reputation for witty and irreverent commentary, Punch played a significant role in shaping public opinion during the First World War. This print, in particular, serves as a reminder of the complex emotions and motivations surrounding the recruitment process during a time of war.
