EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful WWI poster, dating back to 1915, is a poignant reminder of the urgent need for recruits during the First World War. Published under Lord Derby's Scheme, which was implemented by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, the poster employs stark, red text and lettering to deliver a clear and persuasive message. The scheme, which aimed to encourage men to enlist in the British Army, stated that a mere promise to enlist was of no value. Instead, any man wishing to be placed in a group for military service had to be attested by December 11th, 1915. The use of the word "attested" implies a formal commitment, adding weight to the call to action. The poster's bold design and persuasive language were part of a larger campaign to encourage enlistment and boost morale during a critical period in the war effort. This historical artifact is a testament to the sacrifices made by individuals during wartime and the importance of collective action in times of crisis.
