Description
Australian First World War recruitment poster targeting women. Text only printed in dark green set against a yellow background and framed within light green, yellow, and dark green borders. It is a direct copy of a British poster issued by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee (Poster No. 69) and is printed by the Government Printer for the State of Victoria. The design is the same with the only change being the text, which is directed to the 'Women of Australia' rather than Britain. It features four questions: each of these questions is a slogan from another parliamentary recruitment poster targeting women. Published in 1915 it refers to alleged German atrocities in Belgium and urges Australian women to encourage their lovers, brothers and friends to enlist so the same doesn't happen to Australians.
