The title puts four questions directly to men who had not yet joined the armed forces, a direct, personal approach typical of 1915 recruiting material. Printed while the major armies still relied on volunteers, the piece aimed to persuade individual men by appealing to duty, family, and reputation rather than describing the fighting. Compulsory service came in several countries only in 1916 and 1917, so posters like this were trying to win over men who still had a choice. The question format is worth noticing, since it asks the viewer to answer for himself.
