This propaganda poster was used to encourage enrollment of men to serve overseas for the 73rd Royal Highlanders of Canada regiment. The message is that men are needed to defend their country. This poster appeals to the patriotic side of people as it talks about fighting to preserve our freedom . It also  uses the statement “God Save the King” which people at that time used to define their patriotism to the King of Canada and Britain. I like  this poster because it shows a lot about  the time period and our dependence on Britain. It demonstrates that while we were not yet independent of Britain governance, there was a sense of country and comradery. The war united people for a cause.
