EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1915, two men are seen engrossed in reading a recruiting poster on Fleet Street, London. The powerful image captures the essence of the World War I propaganda that permeated every corner of society during those tumultuous times. The poster itself is strategically designed with two spy holes, inviting passersby to prove their courage and enlist. Through these openings, the words "Can you look through? Yes then you are big enough and surely brave enough to serve your country" can be read. This clever tactic aimed at appealing to the pride and bravery of young men who were contemplating joining the war effort. The composition of this portrait shot focuses on the backs of these anonymous males as they stand before the poster. Their posture suggests deep contemplation as they absorb its message. It serves as a poignant reminder of how recruitment efforts targeted individuals from all walks of life, urging them to leave behind their homes and families for an uncertain future on European battlefields. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in British history when patriotism was fervently encouraged, highlighting both the power of propaganda and the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I.
