EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative recruiting poster from the inter-war period, dated 1920, invites potential recruits to "Join the Lancashire Fusiliers" with the tagline "Be a Hero." Printed by Gale and Polden Ltd, the poster showcases the regiment's rich history and tradition, featuring images of Victoria Cross winners from the Lancashire Fusiliers. The Victoria Cross is the highest decoration for valor in the British military, and the presence of these esteemed recipients underscores the heroic legacy of the regiment. The poster's design is striking, with a bold red background and the regimental flag prominently displayed. The flag, adorned with the St. George's Cross and the regimental badge, adds an official and historic touch to the recruitment call. The use of sealing wax and the regimental motto, "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," which translates to "Where Right and Glory Lead," further emphasizes the honor and duty that comes with serving in the Lancashire Fusiliers. The poster's imagery and messaging reflect the patriotic spirit of the time, as the aftermath of World War I left a deep impact on the British people. The call to join the ranks of the Lancashire Fusiliers, a regiment with a proud history of valor and sacrifice, would have resonated with many young men looking to contribute to their country and make a difference. This poster is an important historical artifact that provides insight into the recruitment efforts and military culture of the early 20th century.
