EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI recruitment poster, dated between 1914 and 1918, showcases the 20th London Regiment's call to arms, encouraging local men to join their own battalion at once. The poster's design, with its bold red and black text and striking lettering, conveys a sense of urgency and importance. The headquarters of the 20th London Regiment were located at Holly Hedge House in Blackheath, London. The poster's central message is a heartfelt expression of praise for the territorials, or part-time soldiers, who were already serving their communities and their country before the outbreak of war. The text reads, "Praise for Territorials," highlighting the value and dedication of these local volunteers. As the first Great War raged on in Europe, the need for soldiers became increasingly pressing. The British military relied heavily on the territorial forces, who were already trained and organized, to help bolster their ranks. This poster is a testament to the importance of these local battalions and the vital role they played in the war effort. The poster's design is reminiscent of the wartime era, with its use of bold, clear typography and striking colors. The image of a soldier in uniform, standing tall and proud, reinforces the message of courage and duty. This poster is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women during the First World War and the importance of community and unity in times of crisis.
