EDITORS COMMENTS
Come Now: A Call to Arms from the Emerald Isle - 1915 Irish Recruitment Poster Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, the call to arms reverberated across the globe, reaching even the farthest corners of the British Empire. In this evocative recruitment poster, designed by PJW in 1915, the spirit of duty, honor, and patriotism is brought to the forefront, as Ireland is urged to answer the call and join the ranks of the British Army. The stark, powerful image of a rifle, boots, and accoutrements, poised and ready, serves as a visual reminder of the sacrifices and responsibilities that came with enlistment. The simple yet effective slogan, "Come Now, Be honest with yourself," speaks to the inherent courage and conviction required to make the decision to join the war effort. The promise of a free uniform, a common incentive during this period, is subtly conveyed through the depiction of a neatly folded khaki uniform, waiting to be claimed by the brave men of Ireland. The poster's design, with its bold typography and striking visuals, effectively captures the essence of the recruitment campaign, urging men to step forward and contribute to the war effort. This powerful piece of wartime propaganda, created in 1915, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of Ireland during the First World War. Designed by PJW for use in Ireland, it stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Irish people and their commitment to the British cause.
