EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative recruitment poster from 1918 features the image and letter of 2nd Corporal Sam Brierley, a soldier serving with the British or Canadian Army during the First World War. The National Union of Railwaymen, of which Brierley was a member, encouraged its members to enlist and serve their country in the military. The poster bears the slogan "Join the Army and Help to Win the War" and the image of Brierley in his khaki uniform and military cap, holding a rifle and gazing intently into the distance, conveys the sense of duty, courage, and determination required of soldiers during this time. The poster also includes a call to action for citizens to support the war effort through the National War Savings Committee's National War Savings Certificate scheme. The Nur Fundraising Committee, which oversaw the distribution of the poster, emphasized the importance of both military service and financial contributions to the war effort. The poster's design, with its bold typography and striking visuals, effectively conveys the urgency and importance of the war effort, and serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during the First World War. Sam Brierley's letter home, which accompanies the poster, adds a personal touch and provides insight into the experiences and thoughts of soldiers on the front lines. The poster is an important historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the wartime spirit of unity, patriotism, and sacrifice that characterized the First World War era.
