What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon depicts a military procession or parade, with a uniformed leader in front holding what appears to be a hat or cap, exhorting soldiers behind him. The caption "All Together Now, Boys!" suggests coordination or unity being demanded. The context likely concerns early 20th-century military mobilization or wartime organization. The figure leading appears to be a commanding officer or political leader rallying troops. The satirical point seems to mock the forced or artificial nature of military unity—the ironic "all together" suggests the difficulty of achieving genuine cohesion or the hollow nature of such appeals. Without the publication date visible, the specific military context remains unclear, though the style suggests WWI or interwar period.
