The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry
Recruitment poster printed by Gale and Polden Limited, 1923.
In times of peace it was difficult to recruit men into the Army on ideological grounds and rare to find those motivated simply by the desire to serve King and country. This recruitment poster therefore offers prospective soldiers 'a good healthy sporting life' and includes vignettes of men playing football, running and boxing.
