募兵海报
when world war i broke out in 1914, british war secretary horatio kitchener designed a recruitment poster which portrayed him as a tough general pointing his index finger at the viewer, with the words"britons(kitchener) wants you. join your country's army!" the caption was like a command and instilled a feeling of nationalism and patriotism in the minds of the people. the word"you" in bold letters, ordered each and every citizen to be at the service of the country at the time when it needed them most. believe it or not, the poster encouraged 3,000,000 men to volunteer to join the army.
kitchener's poster spawned, in 1917, the famous recruitment poster for the united states army, which showed uncle sam in a similar pose.

一九一四年，第一次世界大战爆发，英国陆军部长贺瑞修．基钦纳设计了一张募兵海报。海报上的基钦纳将军一脸强硬神情，用食指指着看海报者，并有文字说：「英国人，（基钦纳）需要你。快加入你国家的军队！」这话有如一道命令，在百姓心中灌注了民族主义和爱国思想。用黑体印刷的「你」字，着令每一个国民在国家最需要他们的时候，为国效力。信不信由你，三百万人受到这海报鼓舞，志愿从军。
美军一九一七年的那张募兵海报脍炙人口，海报上山姆叔叔摆出的姿势，就是模仿基钦纳的海报。
