The question printed across this 1915 poster puts the decision squarely to the viewer, a direct appeal typical of the recruiting campaigns of the war's first full year. Before conscription arrived in Britain in 1916, many nations fighting the war depended on volunteers, and posters like this one were pasted on hoardings, station walls and shop windows to turn a distant conflict into a personal choice. The blunt command "Enlist now" pushes the viewer from consideration to action. Posters like this one show how governments tried to shape public opinion and recruit men before compulsory service became law.
