| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene of World War I military enlistment and preparation, rendered in high relief against a dark field. To the right, a group of uniformed soldiers stand in formation while an officer processes recruits, evoking the enlistment process of 1914. In the lower portion, a kneeling figure bows in prayer or supplication before a seated chaplain or official, referencing the spiritual dimension of going to war. Decorative bunting or banners frame the upper and lower edges of the composition. The bold inscription MAKE ME A SOLDIER, LORD occupies the left field in large graduated lettering, quoting a well-known patriotic prayer of the First World War era. |
