Herbert Kitchener was a British field marshal and statesman who served as the commander-in-chief of the British Army during World War I. Kitchener was born in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1850. He was the son of an army officer and was educated at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich, England. He is perhaps best known for the iconic recruitment poster featuring his image that was used to encourage men to join the British armed forces during the war. The poster, which was produced by the British government in 1914, shows a stern-looking Kitchener pointing directly at the viewer with the words "WANTS YOU" written above his head. It became one of the most widely recognized posters of the war and was used in various countries around the world to recruit soldiers for the Allied cause. The poster was so successful that it has been widely imitated and has become an iconic symbol of World War I. It remains one of the most famous recruitment posters in history and is still widely recognized today. Kitchener had a long and distinguished military career, serving in various campaigns around the world. He was known for his strict discipline and attention to detail and was greatly respected by his troops. He served as the British Secretary of State for War from 1914 to 1916 and played a crucial role in the development of British war strategy during the early years of the conflict. Some of his most notable achievements include: Leading the British forces to victory in the Sudan campaign of 1896-98, including the decisive Battle of Omdurman. Serving as the Governor-General of Canada from 1911 to 1916, where he implemented various social and economic reforms. During World War I, Kitchener oversaw the expansion of the British Army from 250,000 to 2 million men and played a key role in the Allied victory. In his personal life, Kitchener was known to be a solitary and private individual. He never married and had no children. He was a devout Anglican and was deeply committed to his faith. He died in 1916 when the ship he was traveling on, the HMS Hampshire, struck a mine and sank off the coast of Scotland. His death was a great loss to the British military and he was widely mourned.
