EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative WWI poster, titled "Enlist Today (Welsh version)" was produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1916, during a critical stage of the war. The image features a silhouette of soldiers and gunners, with the Welsh translation of the text "Be honest with yourself. Be certain that your so-called reason is not a selfish excuse. (Lord Kitchener) Enlist Today" appearing beneath. Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War and a key figure in the recruitment effort, is depicted in the poster, emphasizing the importance of individual responsibility and the need for honest introspection before enlisting. The Welsh version of the poster was produced to reach out to the Welsh population, reflecting the multilingual nature of the British Empire and the importance of inclusivity in the war effort. The psychological pressure and sense of guilt and shame experienced by those who had not yet enlisted is palpable in this poster. The use of the Welsh language and the direct address to the viewer creates a sense of personal responsibility and urgency, highlighting the importance of individual action in the face of the larger conflict. The poster is a poignant reminder of the psychological and emotional pressures experienced during wartime, as well as the patriotic fervor and sense of duty that motivated individuals to join the armed forces. The image of soldiers and gunners in silhouette also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during the war, and the enduring impact of their service on history.
