EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, titled "He Did His Duty (Welsh version): Are You Doing Yours?" was produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915. The image depicts Lord Roberts, a renowned British general and hero of the Second Boer War, dressed in full military regalia, including a red hat adorned with a feather, a sword, and the Union Jack flag. The Welsh language version of the poster translates to "Angen Llwyddo Heb Ei Chwech (He Did His Six): A Chofioch Chi'n Fynd? (Are You Doing Yours?)" in Welsh. The poster is a powerful call to action, urging the people of Wales to join the army and contribute to the war effort. The image of Lord Roberts, a symbol of heroism and patriotism, serves to inspire and motivate potential recruits. The use of the Union Jack flag and the phrase "He Did His Duty" further emphasizes the importance of national unity and sacrifice during wartime. The poster is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the recruitment efforts during the First World War and the role of the Welsh language and culture in the war effort. The image of Lord Roberts, a prominent figure in British military history, serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals during this pivotal period in history. The poster's use of language and imagery reflects the patriotic sentiment and sense of duty that permeated society during the war years.
