Scope and content
An anti-conscription and anti-English handbill issued with the aim of persuading members of the Royal Irish Constabulary not to support the British war effort. It reads ‘Private Hodgins would have his work cut out for him here but for you. You are the eyes and the ears for him. Do you think that your own people are likely to forget the fact? What do you think Private Hodgins would do if the German stranger was in England and gave him a gun?’.
