Canadian Prime Minister Sir Robert BordenPropaganda Posters - Canada
Updated - Saturday, 10 April, 2004

As with Australia, Canada entered the First World War along with Britain in August 1914.  Again, Canada did not have in place a policy of conscription - although this was (controversially) changed in time by Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden - and recruitment posters were prominent in stimulating military enlistment.

There are nine pages of Canadian posters available.  This is page two.  Go to page 1, page 3, page 4, page 5, page 6, page 7, page 8 or page 9.
