EDITORS COMMENTS
This vivid and intricately detailed chromolithograph recruitment poster, published by George Berridge and Company in 1896, invites a few "smart, respectable young men" to join the ranks of The Royal Munster Fusiliers, specifically the 101st and 104th Foot, also known as the Cork, Limerick, Kerry & Clare Regiment. The poster, designed by R. Simkin, showcases the regiment's insignia and the Union Jack flag, symbolizing their loyalty to the British military. The image of soldiers, standing tall and proud, evokes a sense of discipline, duty, and camaraderie. The Gaelic motto "1652" is prominently displayed at the bottom of the poster, referencing the year the regiment was first formed. The poster's historical significance lies in its representation of the British military's recruitment efforts in Ireland during the late Victorian era. The use of the term "smart and respectable young men" suggests an attempt to attract a specific demographic, likely from the middle and upper classes, to join the army. This poster is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the military culture and societal norms of the time.
