Below are 19 fascinating posters issued between 1914 and 1916 to persuade British men to do their bit to protect King and country by enlisting in the army. These posters are from a collection of 200 posters was stored in a loft for 30 years by Arthur Maxted who inherited them from his grandfather. He only discovered the posters may be valuable when he started documenting them recently.
