Few recruiting posters from 1915 tie a national appeal so plainly to one place, and this one names Aspatria, a small market town in Cumberland. Its blunt wording, calling for more men and still more men, reflects the strain of a period when Britain relied on volunteers until conscription began in early 1916. Posters like this were typically displayed in shop windows, post offices and public halls, urging local men to enlist while families and employers were already feeling the loss of workers to the front.
