EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, created by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1916, highlights the Military Service Act of that year. The poster's bold red text and stark contrast against a neutral background effectively convey the urgency and importance of the message. The image of a determined marching soldier, accompanied by the caption "Every Unmarried Man of Military Age can choose one of two courses," speaks to the compulsory nature of military service during this period. The options presented to viewers were either to "Join an Army Unit at once" or to "Wait and be sent for later." This poster served as a powerful recruitment tool during a critical time in world history, as the First World War raged on and the need for soldiers grew ever more pressing. The lettering and design of the poster reflect the historical significance of the legislation it promotes, making it a valuable addition to any collection of WWI memorabilia or historical documents. This image offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the role that individual choices played in shaping the course of history.
