"Forward! Enlist Now: Answer the Call of Duty" Step back in time with this collection of historic recruitment posters, showcasing the powerful messages that inspired men to enlist during WWI. From the iconic British Royal Navy poster urging individuals to join their ranks, to The Royal Marines' call for brave souls ready to defend their homeland, these captivating visuals stirred patriotism and a sense of duty. "The Empire Needs Men" emphasized the importance of collective effort, while "Is your home here? Defend it" struck a chord with those eager to protect their loved ones. Even the Territorial Army beckoned citizens to serve their country proudly. In an era marked by unity and collaboration, Allied sailors from six nations rallied together under one banner in the Navy's recruitment drive. Meanwhile, another British military poster asked potential soldiers if they were up for the challenge - "If the cap fits you, join the Army today. " The haunting plea of "Remember Belgium" served as a stark reminder of war's devastating consequences. And who could forget Lord Kitchener's unforgettable proclamation - "Your King and Country Need You"? Finally, even operators of small boats were called upon by none other than the US Coast Guard itself - "Enlist now. " These timeless posters encapsulate an era when bravery knew no bounds and ordinary people rose above themselves for a greater cause – serving their nation with unwavering dedication and sacrifice.
