EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful recruitment poster from 1919, now a vintage print, invites a young man to consider a career as a mechanic within the Motor Transport Corps. The image features a group of soldiers in uniform, gathered around a large truck, beckoning to an inquisitive and curious young man, who stands at a distance, looking intently at the soldiers and the vehicle. The soldiers' expressions are friendly and inviting, and the truck's engine is emitting a plume of smoke, adding to the allure of the mechanical marvel. The text above the soldiers reads, "Say! Young Fellow, Do You Want to Be a Mechanic?" The text below the image reads, "The Motor Transport Corps Will Train You. Earn While You Learn." This message emphasizes the Corps' commitment to providing training and the opportunity for the young man to earn a livelihood while acquiring new skills. The poster's design is striking and effective, using a bold, red and black color palette, and clear, easy-to-read text. The Motor Transport Corps, a branch of the British Army, played a crucial role in the First World War by providing transport for troops and supplies. With the increasing use of motor vehicles in warfare, there was a growing demand for skilled mechanics to maintain and repair these vehicles. This poster is a testament to the Corps' efforts to recruit young men to meet this demand and build a career in the automotive industry. The poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the role of the Motor Transport Corps in shaping the lives of young men during a pivotal moment in history. It also highlights the importance of mechanical skills and the allure of earning while learning, themes that continue to resonate with us today.
