Britain's What's On Event Guide
Paper Persuaders: First World War posters
When the First World War broke out the British Army numbered 45,000, with another 250,000 part time soldiers. The Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener, quickly realised the need to recruit and expand the army. The government set up the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in August 1914 and began the campaign to increase recruits to fight for their country. Over the five years of the war, over 100 poster designs were commissioned to encourage and persuade people to do their bit. This exhibit
