Join the Ranks of the Inns of Court Officer Training Corps: Seize the Opportunity to Serve Your Country and Secure a Commission in the British Army, 1915 Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, the call to arms echoed throughout the land, and the Inns of Court Officer Training Corps (OTC), also known as 'The Devil's Own,' answered the clarion call with open arms. This text advertisement, published in 1915, encourages public school and university-educated men, as well as those with riding experience and a zest for the outdoors, to enlist in this voluntary regiment. The Inns of Court OTC, a part of the Officer Training Corps, aimed to provide young men with the necessary skills and training to become commissioned officers in the British Army. In doing so, they offered a unique opportunity for those who sought to contribute to the war effort while also securing a respectable position within the military hierarchy. The text advertisement, with its bold and evocative language, emphasizes the camaraderie and adventure that awaited potential recruits. It also highlights the prestige and honor associated with becoming an officer in the British Army. With commissions up for grabs, the Inns of Court OTC presented a compelling proposition for those seeking a challenging and rewarding wartime experience. As the world was embroiled in the Great War, the Inns of Court OTC offered a path for young men to make a difference, hone their skills, and forge lifelong bonds with their comrades. This advertisement stands as a testament to the spirit of volunteerism and the unwavering determination of those who answered the call to serve their country during this pivotal moment in history.
