EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful WWI poster, produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915, showcases the new scale of separation allowances for soldiers' dependents. The poster, featuring bold red and blue text against a plain background, emphasizes the importance of enlisting in the army to ensure the financial security of soldiers' families during wartime. The text reads, "New Scale of Separation Allowances for Soldiers Wives and Children... Other Dependents. Enlist Today and your dependents will be well provided for." The poster reflects the significant role of the state in providing support for soldiers and their families during the First World War. The use of the term "dependants" underscores the idea that the war effort was not just about the soldiers on the front lines but also about their families and communities back home. The poster's text is clear and direct, conveying a sense of urgency and reassurance to potential recruits. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with the red and blue text standing out against the plain background. The use of a clean, sans-serif font adds to the poster's modern and authoritative feel. Overall, this WWI poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the war and the importance of state support during times of conflict.
