I’m not sure who added the caption about the Great War, but this cartoon actually appeared in Punch in 1905 and refers to the Russo-Japanese war.

“Nurses”
“The picture postcards of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) ushered in a new age of celebrity on the Japanese side, in which heroes were accompanied by heroines. The latter almost always tended to be Red Cross nurses, who played many symbolic roles. The Red Cross affiliation highlighted Japan’s new internationalism. Depictions of Japanese nurses providing aid and solace to wounded Russian prisoners were intended to demonstrate modern Japan’s humanitarianism. And, predictably, the nurses were invariably good-looking.” (source)

A Good Book (1905), Paul Gustave Fischer (Danish, 1860-1934).
Warm and inviting, has multi-colored furniture all jumbled close together, a trickle of ivy, and the rumpled throw on the chair. The reading woman herself appears comfortable and peaceful. Red flows through her cranberry colored skirt, her soft blouse with the faintest of red polka dots, and the red ribbon in her hair. Her cheeks have the faintest of blushes and her mouth opens slightly, as if she might be reading something romantic or even a tiny bit risque.

Based upon the cover alone, it seems that this woman of evil doesn’t let her keen fashion sense get in the way of terrorizing men in a bizarre and thoroughly unexplained manner.
