Hello all,
Once again I am asking fellow Arrsers for help regarding an item of militaria, specifically this WW1 recruiting poster from N.Ireland. I know little of it, other than it appears to be typeset rather than printed. It is dated 1915, and a local auctioneer has never seen anything like it, nor indeed have I.
It is A3 sized or thereabouts, and is a truly wonderful piece.
The rear of the poster has a name on it, Colonel ? (hopefully someone can read it!) in pencil.
It is accompanied by a letter from a young soldier leaving Ballykinler for France.
Hopefully my mong IT skills upload the pics ok, I have resized them.
@Joshua Slocum let me know if you want a better scan of the letter.
Any help with this is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Bohs
