EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful World War One recruitment poster, designed by H.L. Oakley, features a determined sailor standing by a gun turret, with four sailors in uniforms kneeling in the foreground, each holding rifles. The silhouettes of the sailors create a stark contrast against the blue background, emphasizing the urgency of the call to enlist. The caption reads, "Remember! England Expects -- the Need is Great Today.... the Navy requires you for its glorious service. Join today." The poster, which dates back to the period between 1914 and 1918, was published by Mary Evans, and was intended to inspire patriotism and encourage men of various skills and backgrounds to enlist in the Royal Navy. The poster specifically calls out for skilled artificers and artisans, seamen, stokers, marines, and boys to apply at 7 Whitehall Place, SW. The image of the sailor standing by the gun turret conveys a sense of duty, courage, and determination, while the kneeling sailors with their rifles suggest readiness for battle. The use of silhouettes adds a sense of anonymity and inclusivity, emphasizing that anyone, regardless of background or skillset, could make a valuable contribution to the war effort. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in the armed forces during World War One, and the role that recruitment posters played in shaping public opinion and inspiring patriotism during a time of great need.
