From wartime posters calling Comrades in Arms to enquire about joining the forces, to the intrigue of sketches at the Royal Victoria Coffee Hall on Waterloo-Road, South London, the term 'enquire' has carried significant weight throughout history. It was the reason HMS "Leander" sailed to Petropaulovski to investigate the seizure of Canadian sealing vessels by the Russians. In the realm of literature, the phrase 'How I obtained Two Curates, and how I lost Two Daughters' is a poignant enquiry into personal loss. Josiah Sendeth sought divine guidance through his enquiry of the Lord, while a Special Commission at the Royal Courts of Justice delved into the intricacies of the law. Even in the mundane, a circular discussion concerning the catch of the day at the fish market is an enquiry into the day's freshest offerings. Two owls on a Christmas card enquire with their knowing gaze, while a WW2 poster calls on the ATS to enquire within and join the war effort. And in the realm of real estate, Abbey Road Estate Agents invite you to enquire about your next home.
