[Arthur Gill was employed as a showcard writer—a graphic artist— at B. Roberts and Co. from 1906 – 1914] Just before the First World War broke out in 1914 we had a Shop Trip to London. It was most interesting and enjoyable, being my first visit to London. It was a conducted tour, and we visited many of the chief attractions […] but not, I regret, the National Art Gallery,-- this was closed, as the Suffragettes were on the war path at this time […] We saw a wonderful Salvation Army Procession, about a mile long. All countries where the Army had followers were represented in their native costumes, and had their own Army Bands—it was an eye-opener. |
