Argument Committee Enlist Join Lettering Parliamentary Pressure Psychological Recruiting Recruitment Send Today
EDITORS COMMENTS
To the Women of Britain: won't you help and send a man to join the army today? This powerful WWI poster, produced by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915, employs a psychological approach to recruitment, appealing directly to women to use their influence to encourage the enlistment of men. The bold, red lettering of the text "To the Women of Britain" dominates the top of the poster, drawing the viewer's attention immediately. The argument for action is clear and direct: "won't you help?" The poster continues, "Send a man to join the army today." The use of the word "send" implies that the women have the power to make a difference, to directly contribute to the war effort by encouraging the enlistment of men. The image of a determined woman, gazing intently at the viewer, reinforces the message of the text. The date, "1915," is prominently displayed at the bottom of the poster, serving as a reminder of the urgency of the situation. The poster's impact is further enhanced by its simple yet effective design, which effectively conveys the message of the recruitment committee in a clear and compelling way.
