EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a significant piece of Canadian history during the First World War. The WWI Recruitment Poster for the Naval Service of Canada, published in 1915, stands as a testament to the patriotism and bravery that prevailed during those tumultuous times. The poster features an array of vivid colors, drawing attention to its powerful message. A battleship dominates the background, symbolizing strength and protection within the British Empire. In the foreground, a group of determined men embodying various trades are depicted: sailors, stokers, seamen - all ready to enlist in service. Amidst this scene lies HMCS Rainbow - a historic Canadian warship renowned for its valiant efforts throughout World War I. Its presence serves as an inspiration for potential recruits who yearn to contribute their skills towards defending their homeland. A sailor gazes through his telescope while others operate searchlights on deck; these details emphasize preparedness and vigilance required at sea.
