EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, titled "Step into your place," was produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915 to encourage civilians to enlist in the British Army. The image depicts a long line of soldiers, marching resolutely forward, with a group of civilians in civilian clothing, including hats and coats, joining at the back of the line. The soldiers, all dressed in khaki uniforms, exhibit determined expressions, their bodies rigid and disciplined, as they prepare to embark on their military journey. The civilians, inspired by the patriotism and sense of duty surrounding them, follow suit, stepping into their place in the line. The poster's powerful message of unity and sacrifice resonated deeply with the British public during the early stages of the First World War. As the date of 1915 indicates, this was a crucial period in the conflict, with the Battle of the Somme and other major engagements looming on the horizon. The poster's historical significance lies in its ability to capture the spirit of the times, as ordinary men and women answered the call to arms and joined the ranks of the British military. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by generations past and the enduring power of patriotism and the call to service.
