Catalogue Note

In drawing his cartoon for the Daily Telegraph for 26 April 1967, Nicholas Garland responded to the news that Rolf Hochhuth’s play, Soldiers, was no longer to be produced at the National Theatre, because of its unfounded assertion that Sir Winston Churchill was involved in the death of General Sikorski.
