EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative WWI Parliamentary Recruiting Committee poster, titled 'There are three types of men,' was produced in 1915 to encourage enlistment in the British army during the Great War. The image features three types of men depicted in various stages of response to the call to arms. The first man, on the far left, is shown with a determined expression and a rifle slung over his shoulder, representing those who have already answered the call and obeyed. In the middle, a man with a thoughtful expression and a folded newspaper in his hand symbolizes those who are deliberating and considering their options. On the right, a man with a worried and guilty expression, and a white flag in his hand, represents those who have failed to enlist and are left behind. The direct and persuasive language of the text below the image urges men to join the army and avoid the shame of being labeled as the third type. The poster's stark contrasts and emotional appeal were designed to appeal to the patriotism and sense of duty of potential recruits, and to create a sense of urgency and importance around the war effort. This poster is a poignant reminder of the wartime atmosphere and the pressure on men to enlist during WWI.
