Also entitled ‘Dedicated to the War Minister and his Citizen Army which will be ready to take the field next Spring. It remains with the youth of Britain to increase the number of blooms threefold and thus make everything in the garden really lovely’. Field Marshal Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener (1850-1916), was by chance in Britain on leave from Egypt when war was declared in 1914, and he was immediately appointed Secretary of State for War. Unlike the rest of the cabinet and most of the country who thought the war would be ‘over by Christmas’, Kitchener correctly predicted a long conflict and knew that a huge new army would be required to defeat Germany, stating that the outcome would be decided by ‘the last million’. The huge recruitment campaign featuring his face has become one of the most enduring images of the First World War.
