Details |
Children used as 'recruiting sergeants' in Cardiff, 1915. The British Cabinet were against conscription and so Lord Kitchener had to rely on recruitment drives. The number of young men enthusiastically signing up for war far exceeded expectations in 1914, with far more volunteers than equipment.
