Its headline promises that the Regulars "were in it at the first" and stayed "there to the last," with Old Glory flying throughout, and it lists the branches a recruit could join: infantry, cavalry, field artillery, engineers, Signal Corps, Medical Department, and Quartermaster Corps. Issued by the War Department as part of a recruiting series, it urges men to enlist in the regular army, the standing force, rather than the wartime citizen army. Dated 1919, after the November 1918 armistice, it shows how the army drew on the prestige of the recent war to fill its peacetime ranks.
