The Call to Arms - Britannia and the National Register, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1915, Britannia, the personification of Britain, stands proudly with her trident in hand, symbolizing her power and authority. Behind her, a long line of civilians patiently waits to register for the National Register, an essential step towards enlisting in the British Army during World War I. The industrial factory in the background represents the country's industrial might and its commitment to the war effort. The patriotic scene aims to encourage volunteers to join the ranks of the British military. With the Derby Scheme, a form of conscription, looming, the pressure to enlist was immense. The image conveys a sense of duty, responsibility, and unity among the British people, who were determined to support their country during this time of crisis. Women, too, are present in the crowd, their faces expressing a range of emotions – from determination and resolve to apprehension and worry. The image underscores the collective spirit of the British population, who understood that the war effort required the involvement of every able-bodied man and woman. The symbolism of Britannia, with her trident and the National Register, underscores the importance of unity, service, and production during wartime. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the British people during the First World War and the resilience that carried them through one of the most challenging periods in their history.
