Three emblematic figures2
1. Lord HerbertKitchener(24 June 1850 – 5 June 1916) He was a British Field Marshalwho won fame for his imperial campaigns and later played a central role in the early part of the First World War. On the outbreak of the First World War, Prime Minister of the United KingdomHerbert Asquithappointed Kitchener as Secretary of War. Kitchener was the first member of the military to hold the post and wasgiven the task of recruiting a large army to fight Germany. With the help of a war poster thatfeaturedhismustachioed face, pointingfinger, and the words: 'JoinYourCountry'sArmy', over 2,000,000 men volunteered in the first twoyears of the war.This poster wasdesigned by Alfred Leete. Historical reminder: Queen Victoria: 1837-1901 King Edward VII : 1901-1910 ( Q.Victoria’s eldest son) King George V : 1910-1936
3. John Bull John Bull originated earlier, as a character in John Arbuthnot's The History of John Bull (1712). He became widely known from cartoons by Sir John Tenniel published in the British humor magazine Punch during the middle and late nineteenth century. In those cartoons, he was portrayed as an honest, solid, farmer figure, often in a Union Jack waistcoat, and accompanied by a bulldog. He became so familiar that his name frequently appeared in books, plays, periodical titles, and as a brand name or trademark. Although frequently used through World War II, since the 1950s John Bull has been seen less often.
4. Uncle Sam Uncle Sam originated in popular culture. His origins are disputed, but the name usually is associated with Sam Wilson, a businessman who supplied the army during the War of 1812. His barrels were stamped "U.S." for the government, leading him to be nicknamed "Uncle Sam." The symbolic Uncle Sam's appearance evolved from that of Brother Jonathan, the most common earlier symbol for the United States. The two characters were used interchangeably from the 1830s through the 1860s.
5. As with John Bull, the cartoonists of Punch helped develop the figure, showing him as a lean, whiskered man wearing a top hat and striped pants. The famous American cartoonist Thomas Nast crystallized the image with his cartoons beginning in the 1870s. By 1917, when James Montgomery Flagg depicted him on the famous World War I recruiting poster, Uncle Sam was an icon, readily recognized around the globe. He was officially adopted as the national symbol of the United States in 1950.
