The First Weeks of the War

Propaganda Sources –how are these sources trying to get men to join up?

Lord Kitchener

The Success of Lord Kitchener’s Campaign Asked for 100,000 volunteers – aged Hoped for 100,000 volunteers in 6 months. Around 180,000 enlisted each month. By middle of September over 500,000 men had volunteered their services. More Scots volunteers in proportion to the size of the population than any other area of the UK.

1. Adventure / excitement: Boring jobs Lack of travel opportunities Idea that war would be over by Christmas

2. Anti- German Propaganda War Propaganda Bureau published leaflets detailing German atocities Emphasis on poor Belgium Many Scots wanted to punish Germany or save civilisation

3. Duty Men made to feel guilty by families Duty of protection of the country, the Empire, women and children White feathers given to those not in uniform

4. Patriotism Most felt British Idea of defending the country and Empire Idea of fighting for the king Strong Scottish martial tradition

5. Peer pressure Pals battalions Tramcars as touring recruitment stations Music halls and football games used as opportunities for recruitment

6. Other pressures /compulsion? Fear of unemployment – recruitment among coal miners in East Lothian coalfields, hit by a collapse of trade was as high as 36% but only 30% joined from the still prosperous Ayrshire coal fields Prison sentences fell hugely in 1914 compared with 1913 The Earl of Wemyss said that if the men on his estates did not enlist they would be sacked.
