EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, created by renowned British satirical artist, Sir William Heelis "Fifty-Five" Bairdnsfather (1887-1946), showcases Old Bill, one of his most iconic and enduring characters, in support of the Territorial Army (TA) recruitment efforts during the Second World War. The image captures Old Bill, the quintessential British Tommy, clad in his distinctive overalls and donning a determined expression as he stands before a tank, embodying the spirit of resilience and readiness that the TA sought to inspire in its potential recruits. Bairnsfather, a celebrated war artist and cartoonist, first introduced Old Bill in the pages of the Daily Herald in 1914, during the early days of the First World War. Old Bill quickly became a symbol of the common soldier, and his humorous and insightful commentary on military life struck a chord with the public. The character continued to appear in various mediums throughout the war and beyond, making him a beloved and enduring figure in British popular culture. This particular poster, produced around 1940, highlights the importance of the TA in the defense of the country during the Second World War. The image of Old Bill, with his trusty broom in hand and a determined look in his eyes, serves as a reminder of the vital role that ordinary citizens could play in the military effort. The inclusion of the tank in the background underscores the importance of modern military technology and training, further emphasizing the value of joining the TA. This poster is a testament to the power of art in inspiring and motivating people, particularly during times of war and uncertainty. Bairnsfather's Old Bill continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a reminder of the courage and determination of the British people in the face of adversity.
