CU of a note: "...General...contemptible little Army. Exterminate it. Stamp on it with the glorious German Jack Boot- yours affectionately Wilhelm." The artist draws a scene of a small English soldier, "Tiny Tommy," sitting on a box of tea confronted by a huge soldier, labeled "Prussian Militarism," ready to sweep up the "Tiny Tommy" with a brush and dust pan.

Teaching contemptible little Army to call us Huns(?)." A soldier, with a South Africa banner, walks up to where "Tiny Tommy" is confronting the huge "Prussian Militarism" soldier.
