When You Fire, Remember This - Enlist in the Navy
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant poster from 1917, created to encourage young men to join the United States Navy during World War I. The image features a sailor in uniform, reaching out to a young girl in a lifeboat labeled "Lusitania." The sinking of the RMS Lusitania by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, was a major turning point in the war and a significant catalyst for American entry into the conflict. The poster's message is clear: when you see the devastation and loss caused by war, remember that by enlisting in the Navy, you can help prevent such tragedies and protect innocent lives. The sailor's outstretched hand symbolizes the Navy's commitment to saving lives and preserving peace, while the image of the Lusitania serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold, clear text and a striking, emotionally evocative image. The use of the Lusitania, one of the most famous maritime disasters in history, adds to the poster's impact and resonance. Overall, "When You Fire, Remember This - Enlist in the Navy" is a powerful recruitment tool that taps into the emotions and values of its audience, making a compelling case for service and sacrifice. This poster is a valuable historical artifact that offers insights into the motivations and messaging of the United States Navy during a time of war. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by sailors and civilians alike, and a testament to the enduring power of visual communication in shaping public opinion and inspiring action.
