British Military Recruitment Poster, WW1
Young Men of Britain!! The Germans Said You Were Not in Earnest.... Give them the lie! Play the greater game on the field of honour. Chromolithograph recruitment poster by unknown artist, published by the Publicity Department, Central London Recruiting Depot, printed by Johnson, Riddle and Company Limited, London, 1914. A line of British infantrymen fire at the enemy from a trench. Inset vignette illustrating the German view of the British as football players. The poster refers to and quotes an extract from the Frankfurter Zeitung: The young Britons prefer to exercise their long limbs on the football ground rather than to expose them to any sort of risk in the service of their country. Date: 1914
