EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative First World War recruitment poster, dated circa 1917, features an image of Britannia, the personification of Britain, making a passionate appeal to women to join the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) and Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS). The poster highlights the urgent need for women to enroll and serve their country during the war effort. The WAAC and WRNS were essential auxiliary services that provided vital support to the military and naval forces. WAAC members wore distinctive blue uniforms with red shoulder straps, while WRNS recruits donned navy blue uniforms with white collars and cuffs. Both services offered women the opportunity to contribute to the war effort in meaningful ways, from clerical work and cooking to driving ambulances and serving as telephone operators. The poster's design effectively conveys the patriotic spirit of the time, with Britannia's hand reaching out towards the viewer, as if to invite them to join the ranks of these brave women. The image of Britannia, with her crown and trident, also serves to emphasize the royal connection and the importance of the cause. The use of the phrase "Home and Front" further underscores the idea that women could make a difference both on the battlefield and at home. This powerful recruitment poster is a testament to the significant role women played in the First World War, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by the WAAC and WRNS during this pivotal period in history.
