Can anyone point me to a web link about this, preferably one with an image of the English poster? _________________________ Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans -- John Lennon

OK This site has it , with many other bits of WW1 information If you scroll down on the left side of this page, you reach "posters"and it is there (called 'Your Country needs you') Edited by ren33 (Mon Sep 29 2003 08:13 AM) _________________________ Wandering aimlessly through FT since 1999.
