Recruitment Poster

This hand painted World War One recruitment poster is part of the collections at Bury Art Museum. It was destined to be posted around the town of Bury to encourage young men to sign up to the 'Comrades' Battery of Artillery for Bury and Rochdale, luckily or whatever reason it wasn't posted on a billboard and so survived.

Both are from volume 18 of the series and number 6 shows Serbian Prince Regent Alexander, and number 14 shows an image of a Serbian soldier carrying a rifle.

Recruitment Office - Men Wanted - Apply Within

1 Item

A small, damaged photograph from my own family's archives. Unfortunately we don't recognise any one or the location. It depicts a group of soldiers and a civilian standing outside a town's recruitment office. On the board outside is a notice saying Men wanted for Coldstream Guards, Royal Regiment of Artillery, Field Garrison, Tank Corps, Royal Engineers plus other writing that is indecipherable. A variety of height restrictions are also given. || || Men outside recruitment office || Photograph
