EDITORS COMMENTS
This recruitment poster from 1900, published for the Ministry of Defence, showcases the rich history and tradition of The Buffs East Kent Regiment. The artist unknown masterpiece invites potential recruits to join the esteemed ranks of this ancient regiment, which traces its origins back to 1572. The poster's design is a visual feast for the eyes, featuring uniform studies of soldiers from various eras in the regiment's long and storied history. From the ornate, ruff-collared attire of the 16th century to the more modern, red coats and bearskins of the late 19th century, the poster offers a captivating glimpse into the past. At the top of the poster, the regimental flag flies proudly, emblazoned with the motto "God Save the Queen." The image of a soldier from the Victorian era, standing tall and proud, gazes out at the viewer with a determined expression, further emphasizing the call to action. The poster's historical significance is further underscored by the presence of other flags in the background, representing the various battalions and campaigns that have been a part of The Buffs East Kent Regiment's storied history. This poster is a testament to the enduring appeal of military history and the pride and tradition that comes with serving in a long-established regiment. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the soldiers who have come before us, and a call to those who wish to carry on that legacy. Originally from the collection of the former Buffs Regimental Museum, this poster is a valuable piece of military history that continues to inspire and capture the imagination of those who view it.
