Mr. W. Heath Robinson's well-known series entitled "Rejected by the Inventions Board," is typical of the irresponsible sense of fun which English People seem able to retain even in war-time. Here we see an excellent idea put into action: "The Armoured Corn-Crusher for treading on the Enemy's Toes."

Reproduced from The Sketch of Jan. 5, 1916.
