EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915, poses a profound question that resonated deeply with the British public during the early years of the Great War: "What in the end will settle this War?" The answer, boldly proclaimed in the poster's title, is "Trained Men." The powerful image of a determined soldier, framed against the backdrop of the British flag, underscores the urgent call to action. The red, white, and black lettering of the text adds a sense of urgency and importance to the message. The First World War, which began in 1914, was a global conflict that lasted for over four years and claimed the lives of millions. The need for trained soldiers was a constant concern for military leaders and governments, as the war dragged on and casualty rates continued to rise. This poster, produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, was one of many efforts to encourage men to enlist and join the army. The use of the question "What in the end will settle this War?" was a powerful rhetorical device that tapped into the collective anxiety and uncertainty of the time. The image of the soldier, with his steely gaze and determined posture, was intended to inspire courage and patriotism in potential recruits. The message was clear: it was every man's duty to enlist and become a trained soldier in order to help bring an end to the war. The poster's enduring power lies in its ability to capture the spirit of a nation at war and the sacrifices that were made in the name of victory.
