EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dating back to circa 1916, showcases the spirit of patriotism and dedication to the war effort during World War I on the British home front. The image features one of three women, dressed in a remarkable and intriguing patriotic fancy dress outfit. She is adorned with a series of wartime recruitment posters, each bearing the stern gaze of Lord Kitchener, the iconic British military figure who served as Secretary of State for War and the driving force behind the National Recruitment Campaign. The woman's outfit is further enhanced by a painted-on fake moustache and eyebrows, mimicking Lord Kitchener's distinctive facial features. She holds a military cane under her arm, adding to the authenticity of her costume. This elaborate disguise is a testament to the enthusiasm and commitment of the British people during the war, as they rallied behind the recruitment efforts and the call to arms. The use of Lord Kitchener's image in this fancy dress costume was a common form of wartime propaganda, intended to inspire patriotism and encourage enlistment. The postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the ways in which the British population expressed their support for the war effort during this pivotal period in history.
