Which Path Will You Choose: Soldier or Mechanic in the Engineers? Enlist Now at 808 Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware. This evocative poster from 1919 showcases the dual role of the Engineer Corps during wartime. The image on the left depicts a soldier in full military regalia, standing proudly at attention. On the right, a man in overalls and a work cap is shown engrossed in a mechanical task, a wrench in hand. The caption above each figure reads, "Which? Soldier or mechanic - Enlist in the Engineers and be both." During World War I, the Engineer Corps played a crucial role in both military and civilian life. Engineers were responsible for constructing and maintaining roads, bridges, and other essential infrastructure for the military. They also served as mechanics, maintaining and repairing vehicles, weapons, and other military equipment. This poster, produced in 1919, was likely used to recruit men for the Engineer Corps. The image of the soldier and the mechanic, side by side, emphasizes the dual nature of the role and the opportunities it presented. The poster's call to action, "Apply at 808 Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware," invites potential recruits to learn more and enlist. The poster's design is striking, with bold typography and a clear, concise message. The use of black and red colors adds a sense of urgency and importance. The image of the soldier and mechanic, working in formation, conveys a sense of discipline and teamwork. Overall, this poster is a powerful reminder of the vital role that engineers played during wartime and the opportunities that military service presented to men during this period.
