The title's blunt call for "every fit man" makes this a recruiting appeal rather than a scene from the battlefield. Posters like it belong to the opening year of the war, when Britain and its allies relied on volunteers to fill their armies, and the flag-rallying language was meant to turn civic pride into enlistment. Such images were pasted on hoardings, station walls and shop windows, part of a wider effort to mobilize men before conscription arrived in Britain in 1916. Worth noticing is how the wording speaks to personal fitness and duty rather than to any particular unit or action.
