British Army Recruiting Parchment Replica of a British Army poster printed in the American Colonies seeking local soldiers to fight against the Colonists. "All intrepid and able-bodied Heroes who are willing to serve His Majesty King George the Third in defence of their Country, Laws and Constitution, against the arbitrary usurpations of a tyrannical Congress, have now not only an opportunity of manifesting their Spirit by assisting in reducing to obedience their too-long deluded countrymen, but also of acquiring the polite accomplishments of a soldier by serving only two years or during the present rebellion in America" (partial text of poster.) Antiqued parchment paper looks and feels old. The document size is 11" x 14". British Navy Recruiting Poster |
