Alley Sloper, now there is a blast from the past. Ally Sloper was a cartoon carachter, first published in 1867, in a British magazine called Judy. The Army Service Corp, became known as Alley Sloper's Cavalary. The scheme developed into its own comic Alley Sloper's Half Holiday. Though this stopped publishing after the Great War there was an attempt to revive it in the late 1940's.
