First in the Fight - Always Faithful - Be a U.S. Marine!
By the time the United States Navy produced this poster in 1917, its fleet had largely transitioned from wooden ships to steel-sided dreadnoughts. The "Great White Fleet" had recently completed a circumnavigation of the globe to demonstrate American naval might, but with the dawn of World War I, the Navy was looking for volunteers. An image of a seaman riding a torpedo was just the thing. Bareback bronco imagery convinced many men to enlist, though many would soon find that Navy life was not all fun and games. Poster text: Join the Navy - The Service for Fighting Men

What have You done for Ireland? - What have you done for Ireland? / How have you answered the Call? / Are you pleased with the part you're playing / In the job that demands us all? / Have you changed the tweed for the khaki / To serve with the rank and file / As your comrades are gladly serving, / Or isn't it worth your while? - Can you meet the eyes of soldiers? / Or have you to turn away? / When they talk of the stay-at-home slacker / Have you never a word to say? / When you read the roll of honour / Of living and dead--what then? / Does the voice within approve you / As one to be ranked with men? - For if in Ireland's glory / Each soldier may claim his share, / So he who would shirk his duty, / His burden of shame must bear. / You who are strong and active, / You who are fit for the fray, / What have you done for Ireland? / Ask of your heart to-day!

Your Pal in the Trenches is Waiting to Shake Hands with You
Is Your Conscience Clear on These Two Great Questions - 1. Have you a real reason for not joining the Army, or is that which you put before yourself as a reason, after all only an excuse? - 2. Are you only going to do your duty when the law says you must? - Lord Kitchener in his grave and urgent appeal uses these solemn words: "Does the call to duty find no responses in you until reinforced--let us rather say superseded--by the call of compulsion? It is not for me to tell you your duty. That is a matter for your conscience." - Why Hold Back from doing what thousands of your brother Irishmen have not hesitated about
The Irishmen in the Trenches are calling for You - Ask yourself squarely whether you are justified in turning a deaf ear to them - Apply for particulars of Allowances, etc., at local Recruiting Office
