Great Charge in Reverse! 27th September 1940 Cartoon drawn by Philip Zec for the Daily Mirror, following the unsuccessful attempt by the Allies to capture the strategic port of Dakar in French West Africa (modern-day Senegal). The effects of the Allied failure were mainly political. De Gaulle had believed that he would be able to persuade the Vichy French at Dakar to change sides, but this turned out not to be the case, a result that damaged his standing among the Allies. The failure also meant that for a short period of time the British government lost prestige with the US administration
