"Join the Army at Once & Help to Stop an Air Raid" Vintage British WWI Poster
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
"Join the Army at Once & Help to Stop an Air Raid" Vintage British WWI Poster, 1915 This vintage British recruitment poster, published in 1915, calls on men to join the Army. In full, the text reads, “It is far better to face the bullets than to be killed at home by a bomb / Join the Army at once & help stop an air raid / God save the king.” On the poster, a silhouette of London lies beneath a spotlighted German Zeppelin looming above. This recruitment poster is displayed in a custom-built archival frame. WWI was the first time British civilians were in the direct line of fire in the modern era, creating the idea of the "homefront.’" Traditionally concerned with its coastal borders, Britain was highly unprepared for a sudden and prolonged German air raid. Throughout 1915 and 1916, successive German Zeppelin attacks ravaged several cities, but most notably London. These attacks continued until 1918, but newer aircrafts were used. The Germans hoped to enrage the British people so that they would demand their government made peace. However, their plan backfired when the United Kingdom cried for German defeat...

1939 Original poster - Home Defence Battalions - WWII
Located in PARIS, FR
A splendid, historic poster! It was 1939 when this poster was made. All the major British soldiers had gone abroad to fight, and there were no soldiers left to defend the country. So the country called on all those too old for the army and teenagers aged 14 and over to join the home front. The Home Service Battalions were a force of the British Army during the First and Second World Wars, intended for national defense and other tasks. Those who joined these battalions were exempt from service outside the UK. War - United Kingdom - 39-45 Men 41...
