What a wonderful find. I love any memorabilia from WWI as my daddy was in the army in France.
That is a wonderful poster from pre- WW I. The soldier's uniform says WW I. Great find for the Signs blog.
That message is sort of scary in a way.
I've been watching the whole "Foyle's War" series on Netflix and this poster made me think of that for a minute.
Sorry to hear about your father. But I'm sure he'll receive the best of care in the Health Sciences Centre.
Got to watch those "patriotic" posters. They don't mention that you'll probably die if you go "over there."
Great poster but I would like to have peace in Europe
Almost a hundred years old! Nice find.
It certainly does evoke that era.
Century-old history!
Wow! 100 years old!
wow. and sad, too.
Certainly has that look.
So interesting. *Sigh*
That's a very moving poster, belated happy new year...
Oh how nice ... The residents must enjoy seeing this and I bet it sparks many conversations and memories.
Oh or maybe not about the memories ... I was thinking WWII, but I just noticed the date ...sigh.
Nice one! I looked at your previous posts. You have some great shots especially that one.
What a great find!
Nice sentiment.
A very cool poster... even if the message is a bit ominous
I'm guessing you'll be visiting here quite a bit Pat? Love the poster not so much the message, especially when you think it was all for nought, the world is still fighting!
Signs like this make me sad since I know how awful it was to be a soldier and how many lost their lives in the First World War. The poster makes it seem like it was an adventure...which it was NOT!
Interesting historical sign...
winsome!
I hope your father is happy and well cared-for in his new home. And, yes, it is likely that this poster is really from 1915. That was a period in which posters were used often to generate public attention, and the art work looks like the art from the period.
