What it is
A recruiting poster the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee issued in 1915 as poster no. 108, artist unrecorded, from the Library of Congress (digital ID cph.3g11248).
Why it matters
The Imperial War Museum identifies the sheet as Parliamentary Recruiting Committee poster no. 108, and its record points out that St George and the dragon were a national symbol for several sides in the war, Germany among them.
What to notice
St George on horseback over the dragon, the most heraldic design in the Committee's run.
England's saint, called up again.
