Poster - Evolution of the Canadian Corps - War Diaries - Where we fought...
Recruitment poster for French Canada, ca. 1914-1918.
This poster
is indicative of numerous others that were employed to bolster support
in both English and French Canada. The title declares "We are
defending the precious joys of liberty," by fighting in the
First World War. To further rally recruits for the Canadian effort,
the poster continues, "the drum is struck, the trumpet sounds/Who
will wait behind... No one! It is a people that is defending itself.
Forward!"
