The phrase "Rally round the flag" sets this poster apart from the many recruiting images of 1915, since it appeals to loyalty and collective duty rather than to a single hero or scene. Issued in 1915, when Britain still depended on volunteers to fill its army, it reflects the urgency of the moment: the plea "We must have more men" was a direct request for enlistment. The large color lithograph, printed by The Publicity Arts and credited to the artist Collett, shows how commercial poster design had become a central tool of wartime persuasion. Such posters preceded the introduction of conscription in 1916.
