Recruits
Summary
Rows of men, three or four deep, in a line. All the men are facing to the left and staring attentively ahead. They appear to be from a variety of classes and ages. A building can be seen indistinctly in the background. Copley captures the enthusiasm for enlisting outside a recruiting station during the early days of the First World War. The men convey a sense of unity and shared duty.
