EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and striking British military poster, published by HM Stationery Office in 1925, invites "Smart Men Wanted" to enlist or re-enlist in the army, specifically the Scots Guards, with attractive rates of pay. The colorful chromolithograph design, created by A.W. Baylis, features five figures in various uniforms, each exuding confidence and pride. The Scots Guardsman in the foreground wears the iconic bearskin hat and bears the Queen's colors. The other figures, dressed in the uniforms of the Royal Fusiliers, Royal Tank Corps, Royal Engineers, and Royal Artillery, showcase the diversity and versatility of the British military. The poster includes Army Form B2530 and the date of October 1925, indicating the specific recruitment campaign. This historical artifact provides a fascinating glimpse into the inter-war period and the British military's efforts to attract new recruits.
