The "Your King and Country Need You" poster from World War I is an iconic piece of British propaganda. The phrase became synonymous with recruitment efforts. The Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in London played a pivotal role in British World War I recruitment efforts. Established in 1914, it orchestrated a comprehensive propaganda campaign, creating iconic posters like "Your King and Country Need You." Operating under Lord Derby's scheme, it encouraged voluntary enlistment. The committee's impactful messaging, employing powerful visuals and slogans, aimed to instill a sense of duty and patriotism among British citizens, contributing significantly to the mobilization of forces during the war.
