Description:Lord Kitchener’s commanding image on British recruitment posters of the First World War is one of the most iconic and enduring pictures of history, known, parodied and imitated the world over. First published in the year before war erupted and Asquith appointing him Secretary of State for War in the Cabinet, ‘The Life of Lord Kitchener’ tells of the man before he became “the Poster”. Hackwood traces Kitchener’s early life and imperial campaigns, from childhood in Ireland to RMA Woolwich, and on into Egypt, Sudan and India, becoming the most able soldier Sir Evelyn Baring had come across. Weaving the political with the military and strewn with insights from those who encountered Kitchener, this period biography is a fascinating insight into a Hero of the Empire and British attitudes of the era. F. W. Hackwood (1851-1926) was an ardent educationist from Wednesbury, working for the Birmingham Education Authority, and keen sportsman, founding Wednesbury Strollers F.C. In addition to the many interests that directed his life, he wrote prolifically for periodicals and gained wider renown as “the Black Country historian and antiquary”.
