Description
British recruiting poster produced early in the war by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee; this is a text based poster, with no images. The poster is surrounded by three borders; dark green on the outside, red, and then light green. The text is in white on a dark green background. The poster asks employers if they have done all they can to encourage their employees to enlist. It reads, 'As an employer have you seen that every fit man under your control who is not doing indispensable work for the nation has been given every opportunity for enlisting?' It posits the argument that the good economic conditions in the country are due to men being 'already in the fighting line'. It also asks employers to tell employees that their job would be available to them after they finished serving.
