Order was restored by armed groups from ships in the harbour and the Royal Marine Artillery. In the aftermath Collard and eleven stokers were Courts Martialled. The postcard depicts Collard as a monkey in Royal Navy uniform ordering three bulldogs.: Our defenders "On the Knee" you dogs! Postcard reverse has not been used. Good condition.
