EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and iconic poster, featuring Lord Kitchener's stern gaze and the provocative tagline "Be Honest with Yourself. Be Certain that your So-Called Reason is Not a Selfish Excuse - Lord Kitchener. Enlist Today," was produced during the early days of World War I. The image is a poignant reminder of the urgent call to action that resonated throughout the United Kingdom and its colonies during this pivotal moment in history. Lord Kitchener, a British statesman and military leader, served as the Secretary of State for War from 1914 to 1916. He is best known for his role in recruiting the New Army, which played a significant part in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Allies. This poster, designed by Alfred Leete, was one of the most effective tools in Kitchener's recruitment campaign. The image of Lord Kitchener, with his stern expression and direct gaze, was intended to appeal to the sense of duty and patriotism of the British people. The text, urging individuals to be honest with themselves and to consider their reasons for not enlisting, was meant to challenge those who might have been hesitant or reluctant to join the military effort. The use of the term "selfish excuse" was a deliberate attempt to shame those who might have been avoiding their civic duty. This historical print, with its powerful imagery and evocative text, is a testament to the spirit of sacrifice and determination that characterized the early days of World War I. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by millions of individuals during this global conflict and the importance of standing up for one's country when the need arises.
