This propaganda poster was issued by the N.S.W Recruiting Committee and its intent was to try and make men who have not enlisted for war feel guilty about not going to war to enlist and help their country fight. This guilty feeling is caused firstly by the rhetorical question at the top of the page “Would you stand by while a bushfire raged?” Linked with this image gives the reader the obvious answer that of course you would go and help. The bushfire used in this picture relates the idea of war to a familiar situation; the bushfire represents the Germans, the men fighting the fire represents the men at war or the rest of the country and the man who is standing by represents the reader who has not yet enlisted for war. Tying it all together, “Get busy, and drive the Germans back!” in big black letters is seen as a demand. Posters like this were used as lives were of course being lost all the times and they need to replace those men who were lost so they could keep fighting, the number of deaths may have scared some men and that is why the used the feeling of guilt to convince them to go. All of these techniques put together overall cause the man to feel a sense of guilt and convince them to go to war.
