Description
British First World War poster issued by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee. A British soldier beckons the viewer to enlist with his left hand, and holds his rifle with fixed bayonet in the right. Behind him the silhouettes of marching infantrymen and officers on horseback move from right to left. This poster was re appropriated in Australia for a recruitment campaign, entitled 'Come' (ARTV01122). The Australian poster is essentially the same, excepting the soldier's uniform, which has been altered from a British one to an Australian one.
