EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of war time Britain, as York railway station in North East England comes alive with H.L. Oakley's silhouette recruitment posters. Circa 1914-1915, the early stages of the First World War saw an urgent call for recruits, and these powerful advertisements, featuring silhouettes of soldiers holding weapons such as rifles and bayonets, were a common sight outside stations and public buildings. The brickwork and doorways of the station provide a stark contrast to the crisp, black and white silhouettes, with their uniformed figures and shields emblazoned with the insignia of various regiments. The image of Harry Lawrence, a well-known recruitment poster character, can be seen on the left, his determined gaze and outstretched hand beckoning potential recruits to join the fight. The telephone and the railway timetable sign in the foreground add to the sense of bustling activity, while the railwaymen and soldiers in uniforms mill about, their luggage in tow. The Castle and the signs for nearby towns such as Ripon, Alnwick, and Spa add to the sense of place, transporting us back in time. The Oakley posters, with their striking imagery and bold typography, were an effective tool in the recruitment efforts of the British army during WW1. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who answered the call to serve their country during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty.
