EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI recruitment poster, titled "Spirit of 1917" and produced by the US Marines, calls upon American men to enlist and join the fight for freedom and democracy in Europe. The image, set against the backdrop of the American flag, depicts a determined and resolute figure of a man in full military regalia, holding a rifle and standing before a row of flags representing various allied nations. The man's gaze is fixed and unwavering, embodying the spirit of courage and patriotism that was needed during this pivotal moment in history. The caption below the image reads, "Join the US Marines at Smithfield and Water Streets, Pittsburgh," encouraging potential recruits to take action and enlist in their local recruitment center. The use of khaki uniforms, rifles, and military hats further emphasizes the call to arms and the importance of joining the military effort. This powerful poster, created circa 1917, served as a visual reminder of the sacrifices and commitment required to defend one's country during wartime.
