Lord Kitchener calls for more men. God save the king / printed by Hill, Siffken & Co. (L.P.A. Ltd.), Grafton Works, London, N.
Summary
Poster showing a handwritten letter, on letterhead "War Office, Whitehall, S.W.," which reads, "I have said that I would let the country know when more men were wanted for the war. The time has come and I now call for 300,000 recruits to form new armies. Those who are engaged on the production of war material of any kind should not leave their work. It is to those who are not performing this duty that I appeal. Kitchener."
Following the outbreak of war in 1914, the conflict rapidly grew towards ‘Total War‘. During the early years of the war, poster design and distribution in Britain was organized by the War Propaganda Bureau run out of Wellington House in London. Many of the designs and content of the posters produced during this period were decided internally without oversight from the British Parliament. From 1916 onward, the production of posters and propaganda was centralized through the British Government and, by 1918, were run primarily by the British Ministry for Information. All posters in this collection are printable in high definition.
