EDITORS COMMENTS
Join the Sheep Club: Twenty Sheep to Equip and Clothe Each Soldier - A Call to Action for the Home Front This powerful propaganda poster from 1917 or 1918, depicts an image of children raising sheep against a backdrop of a bucolic countryside. Above them, twenty sheep are shown walking along a roadway, leading to the top of the poster where a fierce battle is underway. The caption, "Join the Sheep Club: Twenty Sheep to Equip and Clothe Each Soldier," underscores the importance of every individual's contribution to the war effort. During World War I, the home front played a crucial role in supporting the troops on the battlefield. With the demand for supplies and resources at an all-time high, civilians were encouraged to participate in various war efforts, including the raising and provisioning of livestock. The "Sheep Club" campaign was one such initiative, aimed at mobilizing the public to contribute to the war effort by raising sheep to provide wool for soldiers' uniforms and clothing. The poster's use of children as the primary actors in the scene is significant, as it emphasizes the role of the younger generation in supporting the war effort. The image of the sheep walking towards the battlefield symbolizes the connection between the home front and the front lines, highlighting the importance of every individual's contribution, no matter how small, in the larger war effort. Overall, this poster serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by civilians during wartime and the role that every individual could play in supporting the troops. The image of the sheep, with their gentle and innocent appearance, serves as a powerful symbol of the unity and determination of the home front during a time of war.
