Entitled: "For the glory of Ireland - Will you go or must I?". Poster showing a woman holding a rifle, gesturing to a distant shore in flames "Belgium," as she addresses a man with a walking stick. At the outbreak of the war, most Irish people, regardless of political affiliation, supported the war in much the same way as their British counterparts, and both nationalist and unionist leaders initially backed the British war effort. Their followers, both Catholic and Protestant, served extensively in the British forces. The voluntary recruitment figures were: 44,000 Irishmen enlisted in 1914, 45,000 followed in 1915,, but this dropped to 19,000 in 1916 and 14,000 in 1917. The 1918 figure has been given as between 11,000 and 15,655. Between August and November 1918 alone 9,845 were recruited. No artist credited, 1915.
