Recruiting poster, for Scottish Regiments

Add to album

This recruiting poster for the Scottish Regiments dates from 1919.

The poster reads 'Recruits Wanted for the Scottish Regiments, This is the Life for a Scotsman'. It was issued at a time when Scotland was just coming to terms with the supreme sacrifice of 145,000 of its servicemen and women during the First World War, and also at a time when, with the Empire at its largest extent ever, the British government desperately needed recruits.
