The Glorious 13th Want Men
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Recruiting Leaflet from the Home Front of World War One This evocative recruiting leaflet, titled "The Glorious 13th Want Men," was published in 1918, during the final stages of the First World War. The leaflet was issued by the 3rd/13th Princess Louise's Kensington Battalion, based in London, and aimed to encourage men to enlist in the British Army. The design of the leaflet is striking, with a bold red headline and an image of a soldier in uniform, standing proudly with a rifle at the ready. The text below the image emphasizes the benefits of joining the 3rd/13th Princess Louise's Kensington Battalion. It promises "good pay," "uniform," and "food," appealing to men's practical needs as well as their sense of duty. The leaflet also includes a reference to the "imperishable glory" of the "Glorious 13th." This phrase was famously used by General Sir Henry Rawlinson, who led the 13th Indian Cavalry Division during the Second Afghan War in 1878. Rawlinson's troops had achieved a decisive victory at the Battle of Kandahar, earning the nickname "The Glorious 13th." The use of this phrase in the recruiting leaflet would have appealed to men's desire for honor and heroism, as well as their sense of tradition. The leaflet also emphasizes the importance of the war effort, stating that "the hour is late, and the call to arms grows more urgent every day." This recruiting leaflet is a powerful reminder of the Home Front experience during World War One, and the ways in which the British military sought to recruit and motivate men to serve their country. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women during this period, and the enduring power of patriotism and duty.
