Kitchener

Kitchener refers to Herbert Kitchener, a British Army officer during the early 20th century, best known for his role in World War I. He became famous for his recruitment campaign, particularly the “Lord Kitchener Wants You” poster, which inspired many to enlist. Kitchener served as the Secretary of State for War and advocated for a large volunteer army. His leadership in battles and strategies were significant, although he faced criticism over the war's management. He died in 1916 when his ship sank, and he remains a notable figure in British military history.
