1850 Caricatured Caricatures Horatio Instructing Khartoum Kitchener Recruit Recruits
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned British military leader, Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener of Khartoum, in the midst of instructing a group of French recruits during World War I. Dressed in his full military regalia, Kitchener, with a stern yet determined expression, urges the recruits to keep fighting for England. The caricatured illustration, created in 1916, adds a touch of humor to the historical scene, with Kitchener's exaggerated features and the recruits' various expressions of exhaustion and reluctance. Horatio Kitchener, born in 1850, rose to prominence during the Sudan Campaign in the late 1890s, earning the nickname "The Sudanese Saviour." He served as the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies from 1914 to 1916, where he oversaw the recruitment of the New Army during World War I. This print is a testament to his leadership and dedication to the war effort. The image of Kitchener instructing French recruits highlights the international cooperation during the war, as well as the shared commitment to the Allied cause. Despite the challenges and hardships faced by the soldiers, Kitchener's unwavering resolve and the camaraderie of his troops kept them pushing forward. This print is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during wartime and the importance of unity and determination in the face of adversity.
