How did Britain Encourage men to join up? (Pal's Battalions)

In this lesson pupils will consider the different ways in which Britain encouraged men to join the military. This lesson focuses primarily on the use of pal’s battalions and the consequences of their use on the western front. Pupils will look at two cases studies to determine whether or not the pal’s battalions were a success or a failure. Finally, pupils will come to a judgement as to whether or not the British government were successful in the aims of building a new army for the first world war.
