EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful WWI recruitment poster, titled "Attest Now," dates back to circa 1916 and calls out to "starred or badged single men or single men in reserved occupations" to enlist in the military forces. The first Great War, also known as World War I, had been raging on for several years, and the need for manpower was becoming increasingly urgent. The poster's bold, blue text and lettering exude a sense of urgency and importance, with the words "Attest Now" taking center stage. The use of stars and badges in the design is a clear reference to the military decorations and insignia that were awarded to soldiers for their bravery and service. The image of a determined, uniformed soldier in the background further emphasizes the call to action. At the time, single men and those in reserved occupations were considered the most likely candidates for military service. Single men were seen as having fewer family obligations, while those in reserved occupations, such as munitions workers, were not essential to the war effort in the same way that soldiers were. The poster's historical significance lies in its role as a visual representation of the intense recruitment efforts that took place during WWI. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by millions of men and women during the war, and the impact that their service had on shaping the course of history. Today, this poster is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the motivations and experiences of those who served during this pivotal period in human history.
