The dark days of World War I had come. Across the globe, countries at war created posters that would encourage young men to volunteer for battle. Some of these posters cultivated a sense of national pride; others attempted to demonize opponents. From 1914 to 1918, thousands of different posters were created, and only some of these survive today. Look back to the early 1900s and see what everyday citizens saw posted on street corners, on buildings, and sometimes, in their homes.
Irishmen Avenge the Lusitania - Join an Irish Regiment Today
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!
