The New Education - World War I recruitment poster. What I love about this is that they have Siberia marked as a desirable spot. And you can get baseball and football free!
Illustration of the football game played by fraternizing troops in No Man’s Land from the January 9th, 1915 issue of The Graphic.

“Step Inside! American Bar/ Je ne pense pas.” An image from The National Library of Scotland, ca. 1918. They write:
The price list on the left lists everything from tobacco and confectionery to stationary, plugs and matches. It is a well-stocked canteen. It is thought this photograph was taken by John Warwick Brooke.
A large number of canteens were set up to provide refreshments for the many soldiers at the Front. The rations given to the men were so often frugal that the extra sustenance offered by the canteens was welcome. It also offered the men somewhere to relax, providing a brief escape from the harsh realities of life at the Front.
