EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, dating back to 1915, calls out to potential recruits with the enticing phrase "Bushmen and sawmill hands wanted." The image features a rugged forester, clad in a heavy coat and holding both a pike and an axe, standing confidently against a backdrop of a small night scene depicting the bustling activity of a logging camp on a river. The 238th Canadian Forestry Battalion, a military unit established during World War I to support the war effort by providing timber for the British military, is the recruiting organization behind this powerful call to action. The poster's design effectively conveys the sense of adventure and camaraderie that comes with joining the battalion. The use of the term "bushmen" adds a sense of exoticism and adventure, while the image of the sawmill hands at work suggests the physical challenge and teamwork required for the job. The night scene, with its flickering campfire and the reflection of the moon on the water, adds a touch of romance and mystery to the image. The 238th Canadian Forestry Battalion played a crucial role in the war effort, providing timber for the construction of trenches, fortifications, and other military structures. The battalion also provided valuable expertise in forestry management and conservation, ensuring that the forests of Canada continued to provide essential resources for both military and civilian use. This poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the recruitment tactics used during a time of war and the important role that forestry played in the Canadian military effort. It also serves as a reminder of the important connection between the natural world and the military, and the vital role that forestry continues to play in supporting our armed forces and our communities.
