EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from the 1940s encourages fit and able men and women to join the Special Constabulary for part-time, voluntary service during World War II. The image of a determined young man in uniform, holding a helmet and shield, reinforces the idea of citizens taking an active role in their community's defense. The tagline, "Civil Defence is Common Sense," emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility during wartime. Potential recruits were advised to inquire about details at their local police station. Scotland, like many other countries, mobilized its citizens for the war effort, and the Special Constabulary provided valuable support to the regular police force. This poster, with its bold use of the Crown insignia and the 2nd World War reference, underscores the patriotic spirit and sense of duty that characterized the era. The poster's enduring appeal lies in its reminder of a time when ordinary citizens, both men and women, answered the call to duty and made a difference in their communities during a time of great need.
