Cartoon by Will Owen guiding readers through a number of war-influenced expressions such as 'strafe' (punish), 'blighty' (Britain), which, during the First World War, became part of the nation's lexicon. Other words include 'char' for tea, 'Bosche' for the Germans (also known Fritz or Jerry) and 'Na Pooh' meaning no more, or finished. Some of the slang terms originating during the Great WAr are still used in modern-day vernacular.
