Question

Which of the two sources is more reilable to a historian studying recruitment for World War One?

Soure A - A letter written by a young soldier to his Mother 1914
"I hate the thought of missing out. It's my chance to do something you know, to contribute to the war effort, I might even get a medal if I'm lucky, and the girls; they love a man in uniform don't they?"

Source B - A propaganda poster 1914

Answer 1

Source A is a better and more reliable resource because it is from the view of a recruiter rather then opinionated posters that try to brainwash or convince you to believe into a certain agenda
