EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful image captured in this 1915 recruitment poster, titled "We took the Hill, come and help us keep it" evokes a sense of duty and sacrifice during World War I. Created by Australian artist H J Watson, possibly referring to the Gallipoli campaign (Dardanelles), the artwork portrays the harsh realities faced by soldiers on the front lines. In this chromolithograph print, we witness a scene of devastation and chaos. The soldier dead and wounded lie scattered across a hillside as sea bombardment rages in the background. The artist's skillful brushstrokes convey both the physical toll of war and its emotional impact on those involved. This poster serves as a call to arms for Australians to join their compatriots in defending their homeland. It appeals not only to patriotism but also highlights the urgent need for reinforcements amidst intense fighting. Watson's work captures both the heroism and tragedy experienced by soldiers during this brutal conflict. By depicting scenes of injured comrades and fallen heroes, he aims to evoke empathy among potential recruits who may be hesitant about joining the fight. More than just an artistic creation, this poster is a historical artifact that represents Australia's involvement in World War I. It stands as a reminder of those who made great sacrifices for their country while urging others to follow suit – an enduring symbol of courage, resilience, and national unity.
