EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph poster, published by David Allan and Sons Limited in 1908, showcases the King's Overseas Dominions Regiment of the Special Reserve, with Colonel in Chief being His Majesty the King. The striking image depicts an officer proudly mounted on a pristine white horse, gazing out over a cliff top, with the breathtaking backdrop of the setting sun. Above the officer, the coats of arms of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa are proudly displayed, symbolizing the unity and alliance of the British dominions. Beneath the image, a comprehensive list of allied regiments and the committee of administration is inscribed, along with the conditions of enlistment for those wishing to serve. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this poster, created by Hassall, evoke the grandeur and prestige of the British military during the Edwardian era. This poster is a testament to the colonialism and imperialism of the time, as well as the significance of the British monarchy and its dominions. The image of the officer on horseback, with the backdrop of the dominion coats of arms, emphasizes the connection between the British military and its overseas territories. This poster is a fascinating historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the military history of the early 20th century.
