Recruitment poster, printed by A Thom and Company, Dublin. A Resolution passed in the Trenches. By an Irish Regiment (2nd Battalion Royal Irish Regiment), after Mass on 1st Sunday in Advent and sent home through their Chaplain (Rev Father Fitzmaurice) 'That the reputation and fine traditions of this old Regiment, started by Irishmen and now being upheld by Irishmen, should continue to be upheld by Irishmen from the Regiment's recruiting area.' [signed] W Dugan, Lieut-Colonel. From every Irish Regiment at the front comes the same appeal. Fill up their ranks fellow Irishmen! These brothers of ours have lifted high the fame of Ireland and the cause of Ireland by their heroism. Do not turn the deaf ear to them. Join them for Ireland's honour and safety and Victory!'
