The Parliamentary Recruiting Committee (PRC) was set up in August 1914. It was a cross party organisation which engaged the infrastructure of parliamentary constituencies to support recruitment.

In July 1915 the PRC became the Parliamentary War Savings Committee and began to publish posters like this one, aimed at civilians, to encourage donations to the war effort.
