Step forward, brave souls! Your country calls as the echoes of the past resonate through time. Witness the spirit of WWI recruitment posters with the imperative "Attest Now," a clarion call to duty. From the Welsh version to the Group System, Removals, and the Military Service Act of 1916, these posters served as a testament to the collective resolve of a nation. As you ponder the weight of responsibility, envision the Derby Scheme's promise of a soldier's life, a chance to escape the monotony of the Compleat Angler or the misery of Gillray's Feast. The stars of the Celestial Globe's Southern Hemisphere beckon, and the steely gaze of a German officer in 1914 oil canvas serves as a reminder of the adversity that awaits. With courage in your heart and resolve unyielding, join the ranks of those who answered the call. Let history remember your name among the heroes who attested and served.
