The title poses a question and answers it in two words: "Trained men." That answer reflects a view common in 1915, when the war on the Western Front had settled into trench stalemate and the big battles of 1914 had not produced a quick victory. Armies on all sides were expanding fast, and commanders needed soldiers who could handle modern weapons, communication, and coordinated attacks, not just large numbers of volunteers. Posters like this one used such arguments to urge men to enlist or to support recruitment and training efforts at home.
