EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, titled "Join Under the Group System," was produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915 to encourage enlistment in the British army. The simple yet powerful design features a image of Lord Derby, the Secretary of State for War, with the text urging viewers to "Join" under his "Lord Derby's Scheme." The poster reassures potential recruits that the process is "Simple and Fair," as it relieves them of the responsibility of deciding which branch of the military to join. Instead, enrollees were to leave the decision to a local tribunal, which would assess their skills and suitability for various roles within the army. The poster's text emphasizes the importance of one's duty to the country, urging them to "enrol" before the deadline of December 11, 1915. The poster's stark contrast of black and white text against a plain background effectively conveys the urgency and gravity of the situation, making it a poignant reminder of the historical context of the First World War and the sacrifices made during that time.
