EDITORS COMMENTS
In the midst of the Great War, Australia made a bold promise to the mother country, Britain. With over 32,000 men already serving in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF), the Australian government and people pledged an additional 50,000 soldiers to support the British war effort. This poster, dated around 1915, serves as a powerful reminder of that commitment. The image features a proud kangaroo standing in front of the number 50,000, symbolizing Australia's unwavering support and contribution. In the background, the silhouettes of soldiers in battle evoke the gravity and sacrifice of the situation. The caption, "Australia has promised Britain 50,000 more men; will you help us keep that promise?" calls out to the Australian public, urging them to answer the call to arms and join the ranks of the AIF. The poster is a poignant representation of the spirit of unity and determination that characterized the Australian response to the war. As the nation rallied behind the promise, thousands of young men from all walks of life enlisted, eager to defend their homeland and contribute to the Allied war effort. The poster stands as a testament to the indomitable Australian spirit and the unbreakable bond between Australia and Britain during a time of great need.
