Description: Excellent condition and scarce Canadian First War Recruiting poster. Using the theme of guilt, this poster asks you to join up to help keep Canada safe from Belgium's fate. These posters were designed to be posted, then torn down. The fact that this example survived in almost mint condition for over 100 years is amazing. Central Recruiting Committee, No. 2 Military District, Toronto printed on bottom.
