EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative WWI poster, titled "Remember Scarborough!", was produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915 to encourage enlistment in the British army during the First World War. The image depicts a red and green text banner with bold, capitalized lettering, urging the viewer to "Remember Scarborough!" and "Join the Army!" The backdrop to this call to action is an ominous, stormy sea, with the ominous silhouette of a German warship looming in the distance. The title "Great Britain's resolve to crush the German barbarians" is emblazoned across the top of the poster, emphasizing the sense of urgency and the need for collective action against the enemy. The significance of Scarborough is not explicitly stated in the text, but it was a coastal town in Yorkshire that had been attacked by German naval forces in December 1914, resulting in the deaths of over 200 civilians. The bombing of Scarborough and other coastal towns was a shocking reminder of the reality of the war and the threat it posed to the civilian population. The use of red and green lettering against a dark background creates a striking visual contrast, making the text stand out and grab the viewer's attention. The poster's design is simple yet effective, conveying a sense of urgency and the importance of joining the army to help protect the country from the German threat. This historic WWI poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the spirit of unity and determination that drove people to enlist and serve their country. It is a powerful piece of visual history that continues to resonate with us today, as we reflect on the lessons of the past and the importance of standing up for our values and protecting our communities.
