larryjhs Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Quite by accident, I came across the attached cartoon, from Mr Punch's History of Modern England, vol 2 ( 1857-1874) p. 146. Punch was a now defunct UK humour magazine, a staple of the middle class - 1841-2002 . See also https://archive.org/details/mrpunchshistoryo02gravuoft/page/146/mode/2up. Perhaps it has been picked up in one of the histories. A quick search on google also located another, as below. I am sure there are more. BTW, Warren Fahey-some of you probably know of him as cartoons and photos, mostly from Australia, http://www.warrenfahey.com.au/enter-the-collection/the-collection-m-z/musical-instruments-in-the-australian-tradition/concertina-photography-cartoon-gallery/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Sugden Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Not from Punch, but I have these from my postcard collection. I look for turn of the last century to 1918 postcards with cartoons of the Royal Navy, whilst looking I came across some of concertina players and couldn’t resist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perigrene Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Dear Andy, I have browsed diesel weasel on behalf of my dad and after reading he gets a mention in your memoirs as the fasted head in the fleet. He has since read your story and did mention Medicine Hat was the name place you were after, he would love to hear from you but is in the dark ages when it comes to the Internet. His memory is quite historical and remembers you and your brothers. Please contact regarding contact. Many thanks R Richardson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
