The British Dreadnought King George V
Why Britain Went to War
A clear Explanation of what we are fighting for
Expressly written for "THE WAR ILLUSTRATED"
by
H G Wells
"This Prussian Imperialism has been for forty years an intolerable nuisance in the earth. Ever since the crushing of the French in 1871 the evil thing has grown and cast its spreading shadow over Europe."
"Through this war we have to march, through pain, through agonies of the spirit wose than pain, through seas of blood and filth. We English have not had things kept from us. We know what war is; we have no delusions. We have read books that tell us of the stench of battlefields, and the nature of wounds, books that Germany suppressed and hid from her people. And we face these horrors to make an end of them"

Historic Words of Europe's Great Leaders in the Great War
Britain's New Army of Freedom
"Since Oliver Cromwell, by an appeal to the religious spirit of the Puritans, created, in his model army the finest engine of war in the modern world, our nation has never responded so quickly and sternly to an appeal from a commander as it has done to the call made by Lord Kitchener for the immediate creation of a new Army of Freedom. Our forefathers had to use the press-gangs, and recruit from every prison in the kingdom, in order to win Trafalgar and Waterloo. Now the flower of our young manhood was seen last week fighting in multitudes in friendly fashion outside the recruiting stations, in order to win the honour of being among the first to join the new army."
