This recruiting poster calls on French-Canadian men to enlist with the 150th Battalion, known as the Carabiniers Mont-Royal, a unit raised in Montreal in 1915 to serve in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Its appeal in French, aimed at a francophone audience, reflects a recruiting effort that had to speak directly to Quebec, where support for the war was more divided than in English Canada. The battalion's name points to Mount Royal, the hill that gives Montreal its name and the city's most familiar landmark. Posters like this one show how Canadian recruiters tried to tie the war to local pride and language.
