| Description | Cartoon shows a huge boot (labeled "Red Desecration") trampling the crosses in a military cemetery. One cross indicates that the soldiers "Died for World Peace." The caption refers to a line in the famous World War I poem, "In Flanders Fields," by John McCrae. Drawn for Memorial Day during the Korean War, the cartoon suggests that the Communists are trampling the chances for peace and, like the poem, urges that the dead not be allowed to die in vain. |
