Join the Brave Throng that Goes Marching Along: A Vintage WWI Parliamentary Recruiting Committee Poster from 1916 This evocative and historically significant WWI poster, titled "Join the Brave Throng that Goes Marching Along," was designed by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee for a large hoarding in 1916. The image features six smiling soldiers in khaki uniforms, standing in a friendly and comradely line or row, with their arms around each other's shoulders. The soldiers' cheerful expressions and the use of the phrase "brave throng" suggest a sense of camaraderie and the appeal of joining a larger, heroic group. The poster's call to action, "Join," is prominently displayed, encouraging potential recruits to enlist and become part of this brave and united group. The use of the word "throng" implies a large and diverse group of individuals coming together for a common cause. The soldiers' uniforms and the overall design of the poster reflect the military culture and the spirit of the time, as the world was embroiled in the devastating events of World War I. The poster's vintage aesthetic, with its muted colors and intricate details, transports us back to the wartime era and offers a glimpse into the history of the 1st recruitment efforts. This poster is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who answered the call to duty during this pivotal period in history. In conclusion, this WWI Parliamentary Recruiting Committee poster, with its striking design and powerful message, is a valuable historical artifact that continues to resonate with us today. It invites us to reflect on the importance of comradeship, unity, and the human spirit in times of adversity.
