EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative chromolithograph recruiting poster, titled "Soldier of the Queen," was published in 1959 by HMSO in London. The image, created after a painting by John Worsley, depicts a young Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineer (REME) intently focused on repairing broken fuses inside an armored vehicle at night. The interior of the vehicle is illuminated by a lantern, casting a warm glow on the soldier's determined face. The exterior of the vehicle is obscured by shadows, while the night sky beyond is filled with the soft glow of stars. The soldier's uniform is adorned with insignia and medals, signifying his commitment and dedication to his duty. The title "Soldier of the Queen" is prominently displayed at the bottom of the poster, reminding potential recruits of the honor and pride that comes with serving Her Majesty. This powerful image captures the essence of the soldier's dedication and the importance of their role in maintaining the military machinery, even in the most challenging of environments.
