Come Lad, Slip Across and Help
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating World War I recruiting poster that encapsulates the spirit of unity and sacrifice during one of history's most tumultuous periods. Published by The Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in London in 1915, this vibrant colour lithograph serves as a powerful call to arms. The artwork portrays a young civilian lad, his eyes filled with determination, standing at the edge of an English channel map. Dressed in military uniform and cap, he symbolizes the countless brave souls who answered their nation's plea for help. The poster strategically highlights key locations such as Dover, Folkestone, Calais, Boulogne, Ypres, and Dieppe - all significant landmarks along the path to victory. A handshake between the lad and a soldier further emphasizes camaraderie and mutual support between civilians and those serving on the front lines. This invitation extends beyond borders; it entices individuals from all walks of life to join forces against a common enemy. As propaganda art goes hand-in-hand with war efforts, this print effectively taps into emotions while promoting enlistment for England's army. Its timeless message transcends time; even today it serves as a poignant reminder of valorous sacrifices made by previous generations. This historic photograph captures not only an iconic moment but also represents an era when ordinary citizens were called upon to become extraordinary soldiers. It stands as testament to humanity's resilience amidst adversity – reminding us that together we can overcome any challenge that lies ahead.
