This is an image of one of the posters shown in the Museum that would have been up during the time of the first World War. I had to show this image because the message portrayed shocked me. It is persuading women of this time to encourage their husbands to join the army, to feel unloved by them if they don't join, and to believe that serving your county was also serving you. I do believe to be a part of the army is a noble course in which to protect our country, but I also believe this must be a decision made only by the participant. To 'get in the heads' of the women is a sick way to encourage killing and death, as many of the service men did not come home.
