No - sorry.
You have to realise that this was a war fought with 20c weapons and 19c tactics, transport and logistics. It was always going to be a bloodbath.
Now take a look at that image. He is asking for volunteers.
This aint conscription.
'Volunteer for my bloodbath', is a lot nicer than 'join my bloodbath or I'll have you shot'
he was secretary of state for war. his job was to raise a large army quickly.
he managed that.
his strategy and ability to work with others was a bit tulipe though(\__/)

The myth about the First World War poster that 'never existed'
The picture is credited with encouraging millions of men to sign up to fight in the trenches, many of them never to return.
But new research has found that no such poster was actually produced during the war and that the image was never used for official recruitment purposes. In fact, it only became popular and widely-used after the conflict ended.
James Taylor, who has researched the history of recruitment posters, said the popular understanding of the design and the impact it had was almost entirely mistaken.
“It’s widely believed to have been the most popular design of First World War, instrumental in recruiting millions of men. But the truth is: that simply wasn’t the case. It’s an urban myth,” he added.Last edited by Sysman; 1 January 2014, 07:20.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
