- Reason
- While I think I was somewhat wrong in the previous nomination when I over-emphasised this poster's rarity - I've since discovered a few more possibilities - this is one of the more interesting WWI Irish recruitment posters, and - after further research - I have found enough evidence the artist is unknowable to justify uploading it to Commons, which gets over one of the major objections last nomination. I do think this is a nice insight into the rather blunt emotional tugs used in recruitment posters of the time, and, while not the best art, isn't terrible, and the historical interest and EV make up for any failings in that regard.
The previous nomination had 4.5 supports, and no opposes.
