Why Aren't You in Khaki? - A Powerful Poster from the Early Days of World War 1 This evocative poster, titled "Why Aren't You in Khaki? You'll Be Wanted. Enlist At Once," is a poignant reminder of the intense recruitment efforts during the early days of World War 1. Circa 1914-1915, this poster was designed to appeal to the sense of duty and patriotism of the British public, particularly men, and to shame those who had not yet enlisted in one of the war services. The image of a young man, dressed in civilian clothes, looking away from the viewer, is juxtaposed with a soldier in full military uniform, gazing directly at the viewer with a determined expression. The soldier's khaki uniform and military insignia are prominently displayed, emphasizing the stark contrast between the two figures. The caption, "Why Aren't You in Khaki?" adds to the sense of urgency and shame, as if to ask, "What are you waiting for?" The poster's design is simple yet effective, using strong colors and bold typography to grab the attention of the viewer. The use of the word "wanted" also adds to the sense of urgency, as if the man in civilians was a fugitive who needed to be apprehended and brought to the military. This powerful poster reflects the intense recruitment efforts during the early days of World War 1, when the British military was struggling to meet its manpower needs. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and courage of those who answered the call to duty and enlisted, and of the important role that posters played in shaping public opinion and mobilizing support for the war effort.
