Join the brave throng that goes marching along Accession Number: ARTV00585

Description

Depicts six khaki-clad, smiling British soldiers, with different regimental badges on their caps; these include the Royal Engineers, the Royal Artillery, and the Irish Guards. They occupy the entire picture plane of this unusually long and thin poster, from left to right, and the title is integrated into the image, also running from the left to right. Printed in white black bordered letters on the background, the title is a cheerful slogan, matching the happy faces of the soldiers. This poster was produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, which experimented with many different styles and recruiting slogans in their posters.
