Learning Objectives & Outcomes Learning Objectives Theme: Why did Britain introduce conscription in 1916? Understand: Why had attitudes changed towards the war by 1916? Evaluate: Why was conscription necessary in 1916? Learning Outcomes D/E = identify and describe why the number of volunteers fell from 1914 – 1916 C/B = explain why men were less willing to volunteer in 1916 A/A* = make a judgment on the theme or big picture question

Source Investigation Use the sources on the following slides to help you research why attitudes changed towards the war? Task 1

Source A: Lord Kitchener A propaganda poster produced during the FWW. How do you think men would have felt seeing this poster?

Source B A gunner explains why he joined up: ‘There was a big show at the picture house; I went with a couple of my mates and at the end of the show they put on the film of our boys marching off to France. I think they played ‘Land of Hope and Glory.’ I knew I had to join up. On Monday I went to the town hall and enlisted. My mates joined up later that week; they said that they became too ashamed to walk the streets.’ What can we learn about attitudes towards joining up to fight for the war from this source?

Source C: Christmas 1914 A photography showing British and German soldiers who had stopped top play football during an unofficial true during Christmas 1914.

Source D: Casualty statistics for the British Empire 1914 to 1918 CountryCasualtiesSoldiers Casualties % British Isles2,535,4245,000, Canada210,100422, Australia215,585331, New Zealand58,52698, India (native)140,0151,096, A casualty = someone captured, wounded, injured or killed What can we learn from these casualty figures about why attitudes towards that war changed?

Source E: Graph showing the numbers of British Volunteers 1914 to 1915 In 1914 Kitchener estimated that he would need to recruit 152,000 men per month to replace the casualties that he expected.
