Source A the poster women say go the British government particular focus on women and children they wanted to show that women were still useful in the war effort, when men were away for first time women had to fill in the mens jobs for the first time   such as in  factories, cooks and nurses  at that time of   world war 1 women and children were seen as weak and the men who fought in the war were seen as brave because they were fighting so the British government used this to their advantage and used this  propaganda to boost the morale of the women and children in that time period.

In the poster a British woman and her two children look out their window and watch the army march away. The mother holds her older child’s hand over her chest, and the younger child tugs on his sister’s dress. Their eyes are filled with longing and anxiety, but at the same time, they are proud of the men so by showing how weak and vulnerable women and children are in society men would see the poster and feel the urge to protect the weak and enlist into the war and it would also highlight the men who haven’t not enlisted and it would make them feel ashamed of not enlisting.this is why the parliamentary committee

Source B shows a staged attack in battle of the Somme which the British and French took part in this was a major battle in the 1^st world war because the British sustained heavy losses from German attacks so to improve morale the government showed a staged version of the war to keep the morale of the English population high in 1914 and its was also used to help men enroll  into the army it attracted over 20 million people in 6 weeks and  it helped boost the amount of men enrolling because they were  running low on troops to fight in the war.

The propaganda was useful because after it got aired in Britain’s the film got distributed in 18 other countries but the film was heavily censored and edited by the government this takes away the reliability of the source due to the fact that most of it was staged and wasn’t a real representation of the war however the propaganda did boost morale in Britain and the amount of men enrolling into the army

Source c is a speech from Winston Churchill aimed towards the English troops advancing into the Somme  on the 4th of june 1940 it was important because it was also broadcasted towards the British  population via the BBC radio on the same day this helped the government gain more popularity and hate against the German army
