Propaganda tract, produced by Bob, 20 September 1918. Perhaps much later in life, it was retracted and dismissed as "All rot!" in a hand-written, blue 'Censor's pencil-note across the typing. A second version suggests that the victims of the booby-trapped body were Belgian soldiers

Significance

This little piece of Allied Propaganda was written not long after the death of Bob's much loved brother and comrade. Perhaps it was composed in grief and bitterness, but later regretted and disowned, as not being worthy of himself.
