EDITORS COMMENTS
This vivid and evocative chromolithograph poster, published by His Majesty's Stationery Office in 1938, encourages viewers to "Join the Territorial Army. For England and Freedom!" The image, designed by Lance Cattermole, depicts a determined soldier standing at ease, his arms crossed over his chest, gazing off into the distance with a resolute expression. He wears the khaki uniform of the Territorial Army, complete with helmet, and is flanked by the symbols of his military prowess: a rifle slung over one shoulder, a bayonet at his feet, and the Union Jack flag unfurled behind him. The Territorial Army was an essential component of the British military during the inter-war period, providing trained reservists who could be called upon to serve in times of need. This recruitment poster, with its powerful message of patriotism and duty, reflects the spirit of the times, as the world teetered on the brink of another major conflict. The poster's design is striking in its use of bold colors and dynamic composition. The soldier's strong posture and the dramatic diagonal lines created by the flag and the rifle create a sense of movement and energy, while the contrast between the soldier's uniform and the muted background adds depth and visual interest. The poster's tagline, "For England and Freedom!", underscores the idea that serving in the Territorial Army was not only a matter of personal pride and duty, but also a way to protect one's country and uphold the values of freedom and democracy. This historic poster is a testament to the enduring power of visual communication, and a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women during a pivotal moment in history.
