"Field Marshal Lord Roberts, affectionately known as 'Bobs, ' made headlines on 21st June 1900, in a Vanity Fair cartoon depicting him as 'Cerry Boobs, ' selling bric-a-brac at Portobello Road Market. A humorous take on his military career, this image contrasted with the seriousness of his role leading British forces during the Second Boer War. Yet, Lord Roberts' military prowess was no joke. He had previously led British forces to victory in the Second Anglo-Afghan War and the relief of Mafeking. His funeral in May 1914, held at Belle Vue in Manchester, was a grand affair, with football matches played in his honor during World War 1 as a tribute to his military spirit. This color lithograph of General Sir F Roberts, also known as 'Bobs, ' showcases his stern yet determined expression, a stark contrast to the playful 'Cerry Boobs' persona. The image of 'He bobs up serenely' captures the essence of Lord Roberts' resilience and unwavering commitment to duty. The connection between Lord Roberts and the name 'Bobs' is a fascinating blend of history and humor. From leading British forces in wars to selling bric-a-brac at a market stall, 'Bobs' remains an intriguing historical figure.
