EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WW1 recruitment poster, published by The Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915, features a powerful quotation from Lord Kitchener, urging potential recruits to be honest with themselves and come forward to join the army. The image on the left showcases a soldier's uniform, boots, and accoutrements hanging at the ready, emphasizing the immediacy of the call to arms. Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War, made this appeal at the Guildhall in London on July 1915, during a critical moment in the war effort. The use of the Chromolithograph printing technique by David Allen and Sons Limited, based in Harrow, Middlesex, ensured the vibrant colors and intricate details of the image would capture the attention of the public. The text below the illustration reads, "Your arms, uniform and accoutrements are ready waiting for you," emphasizing the military's readiness to equip and train new recruits. The poster number 130 was published by The Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, London, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The image of the soldier's uniform, boots, and equipment hanging on pegs evokes a sense of duty, honor, and the urgency of the war effort. This powerful poster, with its striking visuals and compelling message, played a significant role in encouraging men to enlist and support the British war effort during WW1.
