EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative recruiting poster, dated 1910, calls for new recruits to join No. 3 Company of the Dorsetshire Royal Garrison Artillery (DRGA) in the service of "King & Country" as part of the Territorial Force. The Dorsetshire Royal Garrison Artillery was a part-time military unit, which meant that its members maintained civilian lives while also training and serving in the military. This poster, with its bold typography and striking imagery, was designed to appeal to potential recruits and encourage them to enlist. The poster features a dramatic scene of soldiers in action, with a gun being fired in the foreground and an explosion in the background. The soldiers are depicted in their uniforms, complete with helmets and ammunition belts, giving a sense of the seriousness and importance of their role. The text at the bottom of the poster reads, "Recruits are required for the above company," inviting interested individuals to take the next step and enlist. This poster is a fascinating glimpse into the history of military recruitment during the Edwardian era. It reflects the patriotic spirit of the time and the sense of duty and commitment that was expected of citizens. The DRGA played an important role in the defense of the United Kingdom during World War I, and this poster is a reminder of the critical role that recruiting efforts played in building a strong and effective military force. The poster is in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and crisp lines that bring the image to life. It is a valuable historical artifact that offers insights into the military history of Dorset and the broader history of the British military during the early 20th century.
