Kilts are the detail that set this recruiting poster apart, and its title, "Line up, boys! Enlist to-day," speaks directly to men being called to volunteer. Issued in London by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee around 1915, it is numbered 54 in its series. The Committee was formed to encourage voluntary enlistment in the early years of the First World War, before conscription was introduced in Britain in 1916. Posters like this one appealed to duty and comradeship, and the firm E. & S. Ltd. is credited for its printing.
