About the Author

Sir Hedley Le Bas (b. 1868) was the head of a publishing house in London, but is best remembered for the campaigns he launched during WWI to recruit soldiers—coining the successful slogan “Your King and Country Need You!”—and to encourage citizens to loan their government money for the war by purchasing bonds or war savings certificates.
