What it is
A recruiting poster for the State Recruiting Committee of Queensland, printed by A. J. Cumming, Government Printer, in Brisbane in 1915, from the National Library of Australia.
Why it matters
The sheet calls the men of Queensland by name, for the campaign at Gallipoli.
What to notice
Two exclamations, one for the state and one for the country.
A state's name, shouted across the sea.
