This mug is inspired by a tin button badge, produced in 1916 as a memorial to Lord Kitchener and held in IWMâs world renowned collection.
Kitchener was made Secretary of State for War in 1914, and led a campaign to recruit volunteers to massively expand the British Army, raising âKitchenerâs Armyâ. He died in 1916 after the warship taking him to negotiations in Russia was sunk by a mine laid by a German submarine near the Orkney Islands.
This large mug measures 10.2cm in height and 9.6cm in diameter.
