Description
This First World War Victorian poster was published by the State Recruiting Committee of Victoria and aims to encourage the civilian population to enlist by appealing to their patriotic spirit. Despite being a text only poster printed in blue and red ink, the message is strong and engaging as it urges the viewer to ' enlist, enthuse and encourage.'
