EDITORS COMMENTS
October 1914: "Wanted Urgentily - Ex-Non-Commissioned Officers to Re-enlist for the 1st World War," read this powerful recruitment notice issued by Lord Kitchener. With the war in its early stages, the British military faced an urgent need for experienced leaders to train the influx of young recruits. This printed advertisement, penned by Lord Kitchener himself, was a call to action for former NCOs to rejoin the ranks and lend their expertise to the war effort. The Great War was a time of great upheaval and sacrifice, and the demand for skilled officers was immense. The simple yet impactful design of the notice, with its bold text and military insignia, conveyed a sense of urgency and duty. The use of the word "urgently" emphasized the importance of the request, and the offer of re-enlistment bonuses provided an added incentive. As the war raged on, the need for trained officers became increasingly critical. Lord Kitchener's recruitment notice was a testament to the importance of experience and leadership in the face of adversity. It served as a reminder that every individual had a role to play in the war effort, and that even those who had already served could make a difference once again. This image, from the Imperial War Museum/Robert Hunt Library, offers a glimpse into the history of the First World War and the sacrifices made by those who answered the call to duty.
