This lantern slide, "The Australians in Flanders (1918)," shows a cartoon presumably drawn by an Australian YMCA war worker during World War I. The top half of the cartoon shows YMCA workers relaxing in a canteen in Flanders, Belgium, while the lower half shows them waiting in line to receive mail. ; During World War I, the Australian Y.M.C.A. ran soldiers’ clubs, etc., in Cairo, Alexandria, and elsewhere. They also pooled their resources with the United States, Canada, England, and New Zealand to form the International Hospitality League and provided social services to all Allied troops. William Cecil Dunford (1885-1969) spent 1916 through 1918 with the YMCA and with the Australian Forces’ Historical Record Department. In 1920 he illustrated a book written by Henry Arthur Foley titled “Three Years on Active Service and Eight Months as a Prisoner-of-War.” ; Written in frame of Lantern Slide: YMCA; The Australians in Flanders.
