Object description
whole: the images cover the upper third and left-hand third, with the title and text placed in the lower right, in blue
and in red. All set against a grey background and held within a yellow border.
image: a full-length depiction of a British Infantryman smiling and pointing to six images of Army life behind him. Five of the images
depict soldiers playing sport (football, water polo, cricket, athletics and boxing); the other image is of two soldiers leaning on the
railings of a ship sailing past a foreign (possibly Middle Eastern or Indian) city.
text: If you are an able bodied soldier (Category A or B1) over 18 and under 35, why not remain in the Army for a further LIMITED PERIOD
and see other parts of the world under peace conditions? If after that you wish, as you probably will, to make the Army your profession for
life it is likely you will be able to do so with advantages to yourself.
IF YOU RE-ENLIST NOW
For 2 Years YOU GET £20 Bounty
Paid in three equal instalments. The first NOW. The same pay and allowances as you are getting now according to your proper rank, and 2
months' furlough AT ONCE in the UNITED KINGDOM on full pay and allowances.
For 3 Years YOU GET £40 Bounty
Paid in four equal instalments. The first NOW. The same pay and allowances as you are getting now according to your proper rank, and 3
months' furlough AT ONCE in the UNITED KINGDOM on full pay and allowances.
For 4 Years YOU GET £50 Bounty
Paid in five equal instalments. The first NOW. The same pay and allowances as you are getting now according to your proper rank, and 3
months' furlough AT ONCE in the UNITED KINGDOM on full pay and allowances.
Also the bonus, minimum 10s. 6d. a week, for as long as the Armies of Occupation exist.
WHY REFUSE WHAT YOU CAN GET?
WHY THROW AWAY WHAT YOU HAVE GOT?
Namely the extra penny a day in peace time that you have already earned for each year you have been fighting. This means not less that £1
10s., £2, £4 10s., or £6 extra a year, according to service during the war.
The latest date for re-enlistment is 15th March next.
Think what it means to you and do it NOW.
You won't be kept a day beyond the date for which you re-enlist, even if you are serving overseas.
Your dependents will get the same as they are getting NOW.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.
1. Whether it is not better to serve your Country without having to worry about your rent, your food, your clothes, and all the other
things you get for nothing in the Army instead of the possibility of finding yourself at a loose end in civil life.
2. Every man, even the lowest rank, should at present be able to put 21s. a week in his pocket. Can you do this in civil life at the end of
the week after you have paid all the expenses of living?
3. Whether you won't miss the Army life and companionship you found there.
DO IT NOW
HOW TO DO IT.
Go and see your Commanding Officer, who will tell you all about it, or if you are on furlough in England when you see this, go and see the
nearest Commanding Officer you can find.
