During World War I, (1914–1918) the impact of the poster as a means of communication was greater than at any other time during history, asking men to do their duty and join the military forces. The perceived threat from Germany at the outbreak of war, meant most Irish people, regardless of political affiliation, supported the war in much the same way as their British counterparts, with both nationalist and unionist leaders initially backing the British war effort.
