The French title names two battles, St. Julien and Festubert, where Canadian troops fought in the spring of 1915, and asks viewers whether they will follow those soldiers' example. Issued in 1916, the color lithograph is a Canadian recruiting appeal from a time when enlistment was voluntary and the army needed a steady flow of volunteers to replace men lost in combat. The record describes it as an English-language version, yet the French wording is a reminder that recruiting campaigns addressed both English- and French-speaking Canadians.
