Action Backpack Bayonet Pack Parliamentary Recruiting Recruitment Rifle Silhouettes Stand
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful WWI parliamentary recruiting poster, titled "Go and Help! (Don't Stand Looking at this, Go and Help!)", dates back to 1915. It is a rare find among WWI posters as it depicts men in action rather than the more common images of soldiers in uniforms, standing at attention or being called to arms. The silhouetted figures in this poster are shown with determined expressions, carrying rifles, bayonets, and backpacks, as they march forward into the unknown. The use of the silhouette technique effectively emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action. The poster's bold and direct message, "Go and Help!", is meant to inspire and motivate potential recruits to enlist in the army and join their comrades in the trenches. The image of men going into action is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. The poster's historical significance lies in its role as a visual representation of the call to arms during a time of war. It is a testament to the spirit of patriotism and the collective effort to defend one's country. The image of soldiers in action also serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifices made by those who answered the call to serve. This vintage poster is a valuable addition to any collection of WWI memorabilia or historical documents. Its striking design and powerful message make it a compelling piece of art and a significant historical artifact.
