Its blunt headline, "Here's your chance. It's men we want," makes this 1915 lithograph a direct appeal rather than a general patriotic image. In 1915 Canada had no conscription, and the Canadian Expeditionary Force was filled by volunteers, so recruiting posters like this one worked to persuade young men to enlist. The record marks it as "No. 3," which suggests it was one of a numbered series issued for the campaign. Printed in color on a large sheet, it reflects the wartime demand for soldiers that shaped Canadian public life during the First World War.
