EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful WWI poster, titled "Soldiers Separation Allowances" and produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915, serves as a poignant reminder of the financial sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the First World War. The vivid red and blue color palette, along with the bold text and lettering, effectively captures the attention of the viewer. The poster highlights the increased rates of separation allowances for soldiers' families, providing essential financial support during their loved ones' absence. The text reads, "Soldiers' Families. Increased Rates of Separation Allowances. £1 1s. 0d. per month for each child under 14 years of age. £1 1s. 6d. per month for each child under 16 years of age. £2 10s. 0d. per month for each wife or eldest child under 18 years of age. £1 1s. 6d. per month for each other child under 18 years of age." The poster's message underscores the importance of recruiting more soldiers to the British army during this critical time in history. The image of a soldier bidding farewell to his family, with his children clinging to him, adds an emotional depth to the call to enlist. The poster's historical significance lies in its representation of the financial burden of war on families and the government's efforts to alleviate their struggles. As the world marks the centenary of the First World War, this poster serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during this time. The poster's powerful message continues to resonate with audiences today, emphasizing the importance of supporting those who serve their country and their families during times of conflict.
