Nice! I noticed too, the preferential visual placement of the white troops with the Indian and African colonials literally marginalized.

John Bull is a national personification of the United Kingdom, especially in political cartoons and similar graphic works. He is usually depicted as a stout, middle-aged, country-dwelling, jolly and matter-of-fact man. He originated in satirical works of the early 18th century and would come to stand for English liberty in opposition to revolutionaries. He was popular through the 18th and 19th centuries until the time of the First World War, when he generally stopped being seen as representative of the "common man".

Pretty cool, not dated? 1913 was the year prior to WWI.

Fascinating that part of the War effort would include apatriotic appeal to the blind. Any chance these are former servicemen blinded in the Great War?
