Falklands: MOD cartoon (Lewin gift to MT) [14,000 Argentine POWs queuing for the NAAFI] [released 2013]

Document type: Declassified documents

Editorial comments:

The cartoonist would seem to have been an unknown artist generally employed on other matters within the MOD.

POWs received a subsistence allowance from the British government during their captivity, much of which would have been spent in exactly the manner the cartoon suggests.

Importance ranking: Trivial
Word count: 1p
