Pre WW1 Patriotic Coloured Art Card by Raphael Tuck - What are you doing to guard the homes of England?

A stirring image of volunteers from the Napoleonic times to the Volunteers of 1860s and beyond, cajoling an idle gentleman of means ( or a rake!) to join the territorial / auxiliary forces. References to a quote from George V so this dates to 1912 - 1914 era. The poem on the reverse makes interesting reading. In very good condition, with slight marks suggesting it had been very lightly glued at one time into an album.
