Ficha de arte: Daddy, what did you do in the Great War?

   It was painted by artist Savile Lumley, and it's a British propaganda poster used during World War 1. In the poster you see a man and his two children: a girl sitting on his lap with an open book, and boy sitting on the floor playing with soldiers. The daughter looks at her father asking, "Daddy, what did you do in the great war?". The poster was published by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in London.

   It was designed to induce a sense of patriotic guilt. It was trying to capture the British men who were unwilling to participate in the Great War. The theme was "What's going to respond to her daughter when she grows up and ask," Dad, what did you do in the great war?"
