Army Recruitment Campaign

Q.1 Why was this poster published Britain in 1915?
This poster (source A) was produced in the Britain in 1915 because it needed people to join the army but it did not make people join the army in 1915 like several other countries so to get people to join the army it published posters that implied you were a coward if you did not like source A. Source A is a army recruitment poster that shows a John Bull standing in front of a row of soldiers saying “who’s absent? Is it you?” John Bull was a fictional fat British farmer. John Bull was made up as a rich British farmer telling people to join the army. The question he is asking is implying that whichever man that did not join was a coward.
In 1915 Britain did not force men to join the army so there way of getting people to join the army was through posters that implied that you were a coward if you did not join, some posters implied that the army was great fun, and some posters said the German’s were evil and nasty and we must fight them. The poster was published in 1915 as a recruitment strategy as later in the war people were forced to join so the poster wouldn’t have been any use later than 1915.

Q.2 Is one source more useful than the other in helping you understand why men volunteered for the army when the war began?
Source B and Source C are useful in helping to understand
why people joined the army. Source B tells us that young people joined up because they liked the sight of soldiers marching in uniforms and wanted to be like that and they thought that it would be a great adventure. They also did it to impress people and make them look brave and patriotic. Source C tell us that the older men felt that there country needed them and everyone in Britain was prideful and hated Germans. Also it tells us that younger men were inspired by the thought of adventure and travelling abroad. People who disliked their jobs (miners and industrial workers) saw it as an opportunity to escape their jobs. People also joined up because they thought it would be fun, it’ll be in someplace they had never been before, they would get regular meals and they would be seen as brave and patriotic.
Source B however is not that useful as the person who wrote the book never even joined the war so he probably had no idea of what young people felt. Source C is useless as the person was not in the war so he did not know how people felt.
Overall both sources B and C are useful. However in my opinion source C is a lot more useful as it gives a bigger variety of reasons and he talked about all men not just one specific age group.

Q.3 “Men volunteered for the army because they thought it would be an adventure” How far do the sources in this paper support this statement?
When World War one broke out the government started a huge campaign to recruit men for the army as at the time people were not forced to join the army. The government tried to recruit people into the army by putting up posters and pressuring men to join or else they would be cowards. Most men however thought that the army would be great fun. One person said “Men volunteered for the army because they thought it would be an adventure”. I’m going to see which sources support this statement and which sources oppose this statement.
Source B supports this statement. Source B is from a book which was written by someone who lived in the time of World War One. It supports the statement as it says “And to tell you the truth that was it-glamour-to be in uniform- and to take part in a great adventure”. This supports the statement as it also says that youngsters would join to take part in a Great Adventure. So Source B supports the statement partly as it says youngsters thought of it as an adventure.
Source C is from a History Book that was published in 1971. Source C supports this statement as it says “The Younger men were certainly inspired by the thoughts of adventure and travel at a time when few people had been further that their own city or the nearest seaside resort”. This supports the statement as it said young people were inspired by the thought of adventure so that is one of the reasons they joined. However there is a chance that this source is unreliable as the author probably wasn’t alive at the time. So this source supports the statement partly as it only says young men thought of the army as an adventure.

Source A is a World War one recruitment poster showing John Bull a fictional rich farmer and a figure used for recruiting saying “who is absent? Is it you?” This source does not support the statement as this poster makes men feel guilty and like cowards instead of making them think that the army was an adventure as the statement says.
Source D is a recording made by the government to recruit men in 1914. It is about a women asking her husband is he is afraid to join up. The husband denies it and when the recruitment officer comes he says he will join if he is guaranteed to kill 10 Germans. This does not support the statement as it implies that if you did not join up that you were a coward and girls and women also wanted you to join up. So this source does not support the statement.
So in conclusion I think that only Source B and Source C support the statement but both only partly as they say only young men saw the army as an adventure and great fun. Source A and Source D do not support it at all as their way of getting people to join is to make people feel like cowards and fell guilt. So the statement is more opposed by the sources than supported by them.

One person said “Men volunteered for the army because they thought it would be an adventure”. I’m going to see which sources support this statement and which sources oppose this statement.
Source B supports this statement. Source B is from a book which was written by someone who lived in the time of World War One. It supports the statement as it says “And to tell you the truth that was it-glamour-to be in uniform- and to take part in a great adventure”. This supports the statement as it also says that youngsters would join to take part in a Great Adventure. So Source B supports the statement partly as it says youngsters thought of it as an adventure.
Source C is from a History Book that was published in 1971. Source C supports this statement as it says “The Younger men were certainly inspired by the thoughts of adventure and travel at a time when few people had been further that their own city or the nearest seaside resort”. This supports the statement as it said young people were inspired by the thought of adventure so that is one of the reasons they joined. However there is a chance that this source is unreliable as the author probably wasn’t alive at the time. So this source supports the statement partly as it only says young men thought of the army as an adventure.

Source A is a World War one recruitment poster showing John Bull a fictional rich farmer and a figure used for recruiting saying “who is absent? Is it you?” This source does not support the statement as this poster makes men feel guilty and like cowards instead of making them think that the army was an adventure as the statement says.
Source D is a recording made by the government to recruit men in 1914. It is about a women asking her husband is he is afraid to join up. The husband denies it and when the recruitment officer comes he says he will join if he is guaranteed to kill 10 Germans. This does not support the statement as it implies that if you did not join up that you were a coward and girls and women also wanted you to join up. So this source does not support the statement.
So in conclusion I think that only Source B and Source C support the statement but both only partly as they say only young men saw the army as an adventure and great fun. Source A and Source D do not support it at all as their way of getting people to join is to make people feel like cowards and fell guilt. So the statement is more opposed by the sources than supported by them.

Q.1 Why was this poster published Britain in 1915?
This poster (source A) was produced in the Britain in 1915 because it needed people to join the army but it did not make people join the army in 1915 like several other countries so to get people to join the army it published posters that implied you were a coward if you did not like source A. Source A is a army recruitment poster that shows a John Bull standing in front of a row of soldiers saying “who’s absent? Is it you?” John Bull was a fictional fat British farmer. John Bull was made up as a rich British farmer telling people to join the army. The question he is asking is implying that whichever man that did not join was a coward.
In 1915 Britain did not force men to join the army so there way of getting people to join the army was through posters that implied that you were a coward if you did not join, some posters implied that the army was great fun, and some posters said the German’s were evil and nasty and we must fight them. The poster was published in 1915 as a recruitment strategy as later in the war people were forced to join so the poster wouldn’t have been any use later than 1915.

Q.2 Is one source more useful than the other in helping you understand why men volunteered for the army when the war began?
Source B and Source C are useful in helping to understand why people joined the army. Source B tells us that young people joined up because they liked the sight of soldiers marching in uniforms and wanted to be like that and they thought that it would be a great adventure. They also did it to impress people and make them look brave and patriotic. Source C tell us that the older men felt that there country needed them and everyone in Britain was prideful and hated Germans. Also it tells us that younger men were inspired by the thought of adventure and travelling abroad. People who disliked their jobs (miners and industrial workers) saw it as an opportunity to escape their jobs. People also joined up because they thought it would be fun, it’ll be in someplace they had never been before, they would get regular meals and they would be seen as brave and patriotic.
Source B however is not that useful as the person who wrote the book never even joined the war so he probably had no idea of what young people felt. Source C is useless as the person was not in the war so he did not know how people felt.
Overall both sources B and C are useful. However in my opinion source C is a lot more useful as it gives a bigger variety of reasons and he talked about all men not just one specific age group.

Source A is a army recruitment poster that shows a John Bull standing in front of a row of soldiers saying “who’s absent? Is it you?” John Bull was a fictional fat British farmer. John Bull was made up as a rich British farmer telling people to join the army. The question he is asking is implying that whichever man that did not join was a coward.
In 1915 Britain did not force men to join the army so there way of getting people to join the army was through posters that implied that you were a coward if you did not join, some posters implied that the army was great fun, and some posters said the German’s were evil and nasty and we must fight them. The poster was published in 1915 as a recruitment strategy as later in the war people were forced to join so the poster wouldn’t have been any use later than 1915.

Q.2 Is one source more useful than the other in helping you understand why men volunteered for the army when the war began?
Source B and Source C are useful in helping to understand why people joined the army. Source B tells us that young people joined up because they liked the sight of soldiers marching in uniforms and wanted to be like that and they thought that it would be a great adventure. They also did it to impress people and make them look brave and patriotic. Source C tell us that the older men felt that there country needed them and everyone in Britain was prideful and hated Germans. Also it tells us that younger men were inspired by the thought of adventure and travelling abroad. People who disliked their jobs (miners and industrial workers) saw it as an opportunity to escape their jobs. People also joined up because they thought it would be fun, it’ll be in someplace they had never been before, they would get regular meals and they would be seen as brave and patriotic.
Source B however is not that useful as the person who wrote the book never even joined the war so he probably had no idea of what young people felt. Source C is useless as the person was not in the war so he did not know how people felt.
Overall both sources B and C are useful. However in my opinion source C is a lot more useful as it gives a bigger variety of reasons and he talked about all men not just one specific age group.

Q.3 “Men volunteered for the army because they thought it would be an adventure” How far do the sources in this paper support this statement?
When World War one broke out the government started a huge campaign to recruit men for the army as at the time people were not forced to join the army. The government tried to recruit people into the army by putting up posters and pressuring men to join or else they would be cowards. Most men however thought that the army would be great fun. One person said “Men volunteered for the army because they thought it would be an adventure”. I’m going to see which sources support this statement and which sources oppose this statement.
Source B supports this statement. Source B is from a book which was written by someone who lived in the time of World War One. It supports the statement as it says “And to tell you the truth that was it-glamour-to be in uniform- and to take part in a great adventure”. This supports the statement as it also says that youngsters would join to take part in a Great Adventure. So Source B supports the statement partly as it says youngsters thought of it as an adventure.
Source C is from a History Book that was published in 1971. Source C supports this statement as it says “The Younger men were certainly inspired by the thoughts of adventure and travel at a time when few people had been further that their own city or the nearest seaside resort”. This supports the statement as it said young people were inspired by the thought of adventure so that is one of the reasons they joined. However there is a chance that this source is unreliable as the author probably wasn’t alive at the time. So this source supports the statement partly as it only says young men thought of the army as an adventure.

Source A is a World War one recruitment poster showing John Bull a fictional rich farmer and a figure used for recruiting saying “who is absent? Is it you?” This source does not support the statement as this poster makes men feel guilty and like cowards instead of making them think that the army was an adventure as the statement says.
Source D is a recording made by the government to recruit men in 1914. It is about a women asking her husband is he is afraid to join up. The husband denies it and when the recruitment officer comes he says he will join if he is guaranteed to kill 10 Germans. This does not support the statement as it implies that if you did not join up that you were a coward and girls and women also wanted you to join up. So this source does not support the statement.
So in conclusion I think that only Source B and Source C support the statement but both only partly as they say only young men saw the army as an adventure and great fun. Source A and Source D do not support it at all as their way of getting people to join is to make people feel like cowards and fell guilt. So the statement is more opposed by the sources than supported by them.

One person said “Men volunteered for the army because they thought it would be an adventure”. I’m going to see which sources support this statement and which sources oppose this statement.
Source B supports this statement. Source B is from a book which was written by someone who lived in the time of World War One. It supports the statement as it says “And to tell you the truth that was it-glamour-to be in uniform- and to take part in a great adventure”. This supports the statement as it also says that youngsters would join to take part in a Great Adventure. So Source B supports the statement partly as it says youngsters thought of it as an adventure.
Source C is from a History Book that was published in 1971. Source C supports this statement as it says “The Younger men were certainly inspired by the thoughts of adventure and travel at a time when few people had been further that their own city or the nearest seaside resort”. This supports the statement as it said young people were inspired by the thought of adventure so that is one of the reasons they joined. However there is a chance that this source is unreliable as the author probably wasn’t alive at the time. So this source supports the statement partly as it only says young men thought of the army as an adventure.

Source A is a World War one recruitment poster showing John Bull a fictional rich farmer and a figure used for recruiting saying “who is absent? Is it you?” This source does not support the statement as this poster makes men feel guilty and like cowards instead of making them think that the army was an adventure as the statement says.
Source D is a recording made by the government to recruit men in 1914. It is about a women asking her husband is he is afraid to join up. The husband denies it and when the recruitment officer comes he says he will join if he is guaranteed to kill 10 Germans. This does not support the statement as it implies that if you did not join up that you were a coward and girls and women also wanted you to join up. So this source does not support the statement.
So in conclusion I think that only Source B and Source C support the statement but both only partly as they say only young men saw the army as an adventure and great fun. Source A and Source D do not support it at all as their way of getting people to join is to make people feel like cowards and fell guilt. So the statement is more opposed by the sources than supported by them.

Q.1 Why was this poster published Britain in 1915?
This poster (source A) was produced in the Britain in 1915 because it needed people to join the army but it did not make people join the army in 1915 like several other countries so to get people to join the army it published posters that implied you were a coward if you did not like source A. Source A is a army recruitment poster that shows a John Bull standing in front of a row of soldiers saying “who’s absent? Is it you?” John Bull was a fictional fat British farmer. John Bull was made up as a rich British farmer telling people to join the army. The question he is asking is implying that whichever man that did not join was a coward.
In 1915 Britain did not force men to join the army so there way of getting people to join the army was through posters that implied that you were a coward if you did not join, some posters implied that the army was great fun, and some posters said the German’s were evil and nasty and we must fight them. The poster was published in 1915 as a recruitment strategy as later in the war people were forced to join so the poster wouldn’t have been any use later than 1915.

Q.2 Is one source more useful than the other in helping you understand why men volunteered for the army when the war began?
Source B and Source C are useful in helping to understand why people joined the army. Source B tells us that young people joined up because they liked the sight of soldiers marching in uniforms and wanted to be like that and they thought that it would be a great adventure. They also did it to impress people and make them look brave and patriotic. Source C tell us that the older men felt that there country needed them and everyone in Britain was prideful and hated Germans. Also it tells us that younger men were inspired by the thought of adventure and travelling abroad. People who disliked their jobs (miners and industrial workers) saw it as an opportunity to escape their jobs. People also joined up because they thought it would be fun, it’ll be in someplace they had never been before, they would get regular meals and they would be seen as brave and patriotic.
Source B however is not that useful as the person who wrote the book never even joined the war so he probably had no idea of what young people felt. Source C is useless as the person was not in the war so he did not know how people felt.
Overall both sources B and C are useful. However in my opinion source C is a lot more useful as it gives a bigger variety of reasons and he talked about all men not just one specific age group.
