EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative image captures the spirit of the British soldiers who answered the call to duty during the First World War. The original lithograph was printed on the reverse of unused advertising posters for recruitment stations in October 1918. The standing figure, dressed in full military uniform and armed with a rifle, beckons potential recruits to join the ranks. With a determined expression and steady gaze, the soldier embodies the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of the men who fought in the Great War. The First World War, also known as World War I or WWI, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and was one of the deadliest conflicts in history. The war involved many of the world's major powers, including Britain, France, Germany, and Russia. The need for manpower led to widespread recruitment efforts, with posters like this one playing a crucial role in encouraging young men to enlist. The lithograph was produced by G P Ltd in October 1918, towards the end of the war. Despite the hardships and losses, the determination of the British soldiers remained strong, and their efforts played a significant role in the eventual Allied victory. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served during the First World War, and the enduring spirit of patriotism and duty that motivated them.
