EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful WWI poster, created by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915, poses a thought-provoking question that resonated deeply with the British public during the First World War. The image features a silhouetted father, deep in thought, as his young boy, dressed as a scout, asks him, "Father, what did you do to help when Britain fought for freedom in 1915?" The psychological pressure and sense of shame and guilt that the father feels at not having enlisted are palpable in this poignant scene. The poster was designed to encourage men to join the army and do their part in the war effort. The use of the question format was an effective way to appeal to the sense of duty and patriotism of the British people, particularly fathers who wanted to set a good example for their children. The poster's historical significance lies in its ability to capture the emotional and psychological impact of the war on individuals and families, as well as its role in shaping the public discourse around recruitment and patriotism during this pivotal time in history. The poster's simple yet powerful message continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women during the First World War and the enduring importance of standing up for freedom and democracy.
