United States Army; commissioner
Overview
This poster was created by the United States Army in about 1910 to encourage the enlistment of men into the armed forces. It features a large scale colour lithograph, titled: 'Men Wanted for the Army'. The illustration depicts three groups of soldiers in a rocky mountainous landscape: three soldiers in the foreground (one operating a radio), a group firing a large gun in the middle ground, and three in the background (one holding a red and white flag). There is space below the image for details of the recruiting station where one could apply to be added.
