EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative recruitment poster from the Second World War calls out to potential recruits with the bold headline, "Join the Corps of Military Police - Motor Cyclists Wanted!" The image features a confident and determined military policeman on a motorbike, dressed in his distinctive uniform, complete with goggles, mask, and pannier bags. The rider is shown leading a formation of motorcyclists, all in formation and ready for action. The Corps of Military Police was an essential part of the British military during the Second World War, responsible for maintaining law and order within the armed forces. Motor cyclists were particularly valuable for their mobility and speed, allowing them to quickly respond to incidents and patrol large areas. The poster's design emphasizes the excitement and adventure of joining the Corps of Military Police, with the tagline "Join the Thrill of the Ride!" and the promise of "Issued Equipment - Goggles, Mask, Helmet, Motorcycle, and Full Uniform." The image of the masked rider, with his motorbike roaring in the background, conveys a sense of danger and thrill, making it an effective recruitment tool for the war effort. The poster's condition is excellent, with vibrant colors and crisp lines, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Second World War memorabilia or military history. This is an original print from Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited, and is not to be confused with any commercial reproductions or modern reprints.
