Committee Enemy Enlist Insult Join Kaiser Parliamentary Recruiting Recruitment Threat Threatening


EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative WWI poster, titled "The Kaiser's Insult, Enlist Now," was created by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915. The image is a stark reminder of the escalating tensions leading up to the First World War and the eventual call to arms. The text on the poster quotes from the threatening words of German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II, spoken on August 19, 1914. The Kaiser's words, printed in bold red text, read, "Soldiers of the German Empire! Your King and your Father is calling you to arms! Your brothers, your friends, your neighbors are marching to the colors. To arms, to arms, and to victory!" The image below the text shows a menacing figure of Kaiser Wilhelm II, with a smug expression and a raised fist, pointing towards the viewer. The caption below the image reads, "Enlist Now!" The poster was produced in response to the Kaiser's call to arms and the subsequent declaration of war by Germany on August 1, 1914. The poster was designed to galvanize the British public into action and encourage them to enlist in the army to defend their country against the German threat. The poster's use of red text and an ominous image of the Kaiser was intended to evoke a sense of urgency and to tap into the growing anti-German sentiment in Britain at the time. The poster's simple yet effective design and powerful message made it an iconic symbol of the war effort and a powerful tool for recruitment. The poster is a poignant reminder of the events that led to the First World War and the sacrifices made by millions of men and women during the conflict. It is a testament to the power of propaganda and the role it played in shaping public opinion and mobilizing resources for the war effort.
