We go next!" is the phrase that sets this poster apart, and its title names a specific unit, the Irish Canadian Rangers, as the call to join. The record also lists ships and British flags among its subjects, pointing to the overseas voyage that enlistment promised. By 1918, Canada's volunteer army had suffered heavy losses on the Western Front, and posters like this one worked to keep recruits coming forward. Its bold color lithography was typical of wartime poster work, which relied on striking images to catch the eye on busy city streets.
