This color lithograph names an unusually distinguished group of contributors: Thomas Hardy, Marie Corelli, Jerome K. Jerome, the Earl of Ronaldshay, and Sir Charles Holroyd, along with its designer, the painter Frank Brangwyn. Printed in London in 1915, the sheet is tied to the British armed forces through its title, which takes its name from the khaki uniform, and its subject headings point to soldiers and wartime communication. Brangwyn, known for large decorative paintings and murals, brought his strong sense of color and design to this ephemeral news sheet. It shows how Britain worked to keep its troops informed and connected to home during the First World War.
