The slogan "Every Fit Man Wanted" sets this 1914 print apart: it addresses able-bodied men directly and asks them to come forward. The phrase "Rally Round the Flag" comes from a popular 19th-century American song and appeals to patriotism and a shared national cause. Posters like this multiplied after war broke out in Europe in the summer of 1914, when governments needed volunteers faster than peacetime forces could supply them. It is worth noticing how plainly the design ties personal duty to a call for every capable man to enlist.
