The posters encouraging people to enlist in World War I were commonly referred to as "recruitment posters." One of the most iconic examples is the British "Lord Kitchener Wants You" poster, featuring a stern-faced Lord Kitchener pointing directly at the viewer. These posters aimed to evoke a sense of duty, patriotism, and urgency, urging men to join the military and support the war effort. They often used bold imagery and persuasive language to inspire enlistment.
Lord Kitchener's programme to avoid conscription in World War I was called the Kitchener Volunteer Scheme. This scheme aimed to recruit volunteers for the British Army, relying on patriotism and individuals willingly enlisting rather than being forced into military service through conscription.
During World War I, poster propaganda was created by various governments and organizations to promote enlistment, conserve resources, and boost morale. Notably, the British government employed artists like Alfred Leete, who created the iconic "Your Country Needs You" poster featuring Lord Kitchener. In the United States, the Committee on Public Information (CPI) commissioned artists such as James Montgomery Flagg, known for his "I Want You" poster with Uncle Sam. These posters played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and mobilizing support for the war effort.

Its said he was a hopeless pederast, completely addicted to young boys and men. When he visited in large manor homes, the wise young man had his servant sleep in front of the bedroom door, to block access to Sir Herbert. For all that (which was almost unknown while he was alive) he was regarded as a legendary military hero, though his career had many less than stellar chapters.
