EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful recruitment poster from World War I, titled "Attest Now" in Welsh, calls on single men and those in reserved occupations to enlist in the military forces. Dated circa 1916, the poster features bold blue text and lettering against a plain background, with a star and a badge symbolizing military service. The Welsh language version of the poster, translated from the original English, is a poignant reminder of the intense patriotism and sense of duty that pervaded Wales during the war. The call to "Attest Now" was a direct appeal to young men to sign up and join the ranks, as the conflict raged on in Europe. The use of the Welsh language in the poster reflects the importance of Welsh identity and the desire to protect the homeland. This historical artifact is a testament to the sacrifices made by the people of Wales during the First World War and serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of war on individuals and communities.
