WORLD WAR I IRISH RECRUITMENT POSTER.


Triumph is in Sight. [Ireland: September, 1918.] Lithographic broadside printed in green and black, 760 x 505 mm. Some toning at lower margin, light spotting.Featuring a quote from French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau congratulating the allies on recent military successes: "Our triumph is in sight. The co-operation in remodelling the world of the peoples will result in the accomplishment of that work of idealism towards which so many generations have directed their efforts...." The poster then asks, "Will this be Ireland's triumph? Not unless she takes her fair part in the war." This would have been one of the last recruitment pushes of the first World War before the German surrender in November of that year.
