Designed by Thomas Somerfield, this poster depicts the silhouette of a business man man gazing into a river, which shows his reflection as a soldier. The background is of a silhouetted army camp. The poster aims at encouraging men to join the Territorial Army. The Territorial Force (TF) was the volunteer reserve component of the British Army from 1908 to 1920, when it became the Territorial Army.
