It's amazing to have this little slice of history. That was such an awful war. All wars are awful but, there is something particularly brutal about the first world war.
That is a good one. B
I somehow think this same notice if it was put up today wouldn't get the same eager to fight response it got then Pat. Really fascinating to read the words, so much pressure put on young men then!
Not bad for a century-old poster!
It still is in pretty good shape, a century later.
I don't see anything about the possibility of those "brave Soldiers" being blown to bits or gassed to idiocy or lying in puddles of blood in the foxholes.
This kind of poster fascinates me. Sometimes we have no choice but to fight, but it's not a great and noble cause. It's death and dismemberment and in the end it's all in vain and nobody gives a damn. The Queen and the King and the nobles and the others who inhabit places of power know nothing of this for they sit in peace, sipping tea and eating crumpets, far from the sounds of the battlefield.
OK, I'll quit now.
Very interesting, I really enjoyed your catchy title!
still so sad...
It still sends shudders down my spine. Just like the other ones you've shown.
The message is clear what's on there!
Nice that these posters have been preserved!
interesting poster
you easily span decades with your posts! Modern are and history
A nice one but the one with the pointing finger is still more famous I think.
we all need a wake up call
Heart-rending.
Doesn't look its age.
My SIGNS, SIGNS
Strong words indeed, who could have predicted the horrors of WW1 warfare...
It is wonderful that someone had the hindsight to preserve these posters.
An amazing part of history!
Wow, that sign sure has some age on it! That's even before my time.
That sign certainly does not mince words! It is in excellent condition for being over a hundred years old.
That sign catches the spirit of the times around WW II.
Actually it's amazing it's in such good condition.
Great condition!
