Soon after war broke out in 1914, the British government realised that this new war would have many fronts. One of these fronts was public opinion - without the support of the people there was no way to win the war.

In this gallery you will investigate how and why the British government invested a huge amount of time, money and effort into getting across its message to its own people and people outside Britain. You will also consider how effective the government's efforts were.
