About This Design

In 1914, tensions in South Eastern Europe escalated into a global conflict fought on an industrial scale. As warfare evolved with new technology, the British Army needed to expand its ranks. Men were permitted to serve alongside friends and neighbors in Pals Battalions, creating unity among communities.

Created by the team at creative agency Uniform, this respectful design commemorates the camaraderie of those who volunteered to defend their country during this unprecedented conflict.
