The Services

Poster explaining the Military Service Act 1916, which saw the first introduction of conscription. Unmarried men aged between 18 and 41 had to join the armed forces unless they were unfit or worked in an important job. Men who opposed the war – Conscientious Objectors – had to attend a tribunal. © IWM (Art.IWM PST 5161) Poster . © IWM (Art.IWM PST 5161)
