Everyone should do his bit

Depicts an adolescent boy wearing the short navy pants and long grey socks of the British Boy Scouts association. He is posed at a train platform, in front of seven seminal early recruiting posters. The most prominent one is: Why Aren't YOU in KHAKI?' The boy has his left leg raised on a drum, with his chin resting in his left hand. In his right hand are two drum sticks. The work is a reminder of the strong recruiting link between the Boy Scouts and the recruiting campaigns during the war. The poster also illustrates the belief that membership in the Scouts provided the beginnings of military training - in the 15h and 16th Battallions of the Cheshire regiment, former Boy Scouts were made NCOs.
