| Beschrijving voorzijde | Between 1914 and 1918 more than six million men from Britain and Ireland enlisted to serve in the First World War. Upon enlisting they received a King’s shilling – which was a day’s pay for a private. The expression “to take the King’s shilling” – dating back to the 18th century – meant that a man had agreed to serve as a soldier or sailor. Bust left |
