EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic Metropolitan Police recruitment poster, dated back to the post-World War I era, calls for ex-servicemen to join the Metropolitan Police Force and fill several hundred vacancies. The promotional advertisement, published by the Metropolitan Police Authority, emphasizes the valuable skills and experience that former soldiers could bring to the police force. With the caption "Wanted: Men of Military Experience," the poster highlights the importance of discipline, obedience, and physical fitness, qualities that were highly valued in both the military and the police. The image on the poster features a proud and determined police officer on horseback, symbolizing the traditional image of the British bobby. The officer's uniform and the horse's gear bear the insignia of the Metropolitan Police, adding to the authoritative and official tone of the poster. The text below the image lists the requirements for applicants, including age limits, height, and a pension for those over 50 years old. The poster also promises a good salary and employment opportunities for successful recruits. The use of the term "Met" in the poster's title further emphasizes the prestige and historical significance of the Metropolitan Police Force. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with clear and concise text and a striking image that captures the attention of potential applicants. This recruitment poster is a testament to the long and proud history of the Metropolitan Police Force and its commitment to recruiting the best men and women to serve and protect the people of London. The poster's call to action, "Join the Metropolitan Police," still resonates today, inviting those with a sense of duty and a desire to make a difference to apply and become a part of this esteemed organization.
