Memorial Plate: A Tribute to Two Great Military Leaders of World War I - Lord Kitchener and Admiral Jellicoe This exquisite Memorial Plate, a fine example of commemorative ware produced in England during the early 20th century, pays homage to two of the most prominent military figures of World War I: Lord Kitchener and Admiral Jellicoe. The plate, which bears the inscription "England expects that every man will do his duty," is a poignant reminder of the patriotic spirit and unwavering resolve that characterized the British people during the conflict. Lord Kitchener, whose portrait graces the left side of the plate, served as the Secretary of State for War from 1914 to 1916. Known for his stern demeanor and commanding presence, Kitchener is best remembered for his iconic "Your Country Needs You" poster, which encouraged British men to enlist in the army. Tragically, Kitchener was killed by a German mine off the coast of Orkney in 1916, at the height of the war. Admiral Jellicoe, whose portrait appears on the right side of the plate, was a respected naval commander who played a crucial role in the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Despite initial successes, Jellicoe's failure to completely destroy the German High Seas Fleet has been a subject of debate among military historians. Nevertheless, his leadership and strategic acumen were instrumental in maintaining the naval superiority of the Royal Navy during the war. The Memorial Plate, with its evocative inscription and portraits of these two esteemed military leaders, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of the British people during World War I. This collectible piece of commemorative ware is a must-have for history enthusiasts, military memorabilia collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the rich tapestry of history that surrounds us.
