World War One Posters

Women were encouraged

to urge their men-folk to

volunteer. Whilst the

absence, and possible loss

of their men, would be

keenly felt, mothers, wives,

daughters and sisters were

expected to sanction their

going and to show a brave

face as they marched away.

Pressure was exerted

on prospective

volunteers by

suggesting that their

women-folk were under

threat from the enemy.
