Bayonets Down! A source of "anti-militarism" in France before WWI


Anti-militaristic propaganda posters that were torn down by the police in Lille in 1914. This poster was sent from the Swedish military attache in Paris to his General Staff as an example of the anti-military agitation. The organization behind was called l'Association  internationale antimilitariste. On the poster, it was written (bad French translation) : Soldiers you should shoot on those who will dare to order you to shoot on your brothers of misery.




Today we remember those who died during the Great War and declaration of ceasefire at 11 o'clock on 11th November of 1918. 


Brothers in Arms  RIP
