Description
British First World War recruitment poster issued by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee. It features a full length portrait of a British infantryman standing on a hill, holding his rifle. A Belgium village burns in the distance (centre left) and a Belgium mother and child are fleeing from the destruction in the background right. The title text printed in red is positioned at the top and a subtitle in white at the bottom. Both the text and image are framed by a black border. The poster urges the viewer to remember Germany's invasion of Belgium and alleged atrocities committed against civilians and Prisoners of War, and enlist.
