In Tyne and Wear Archives is a photograph of an unnamed soldier at centre, surrounded by portraits of Great War leaders (Kitchener, French, Jellicoe and Churchill) with the legend “His Country needed him”. At the top is a land battle scene, and the bottom is a sea battle. Flags of all kinds are in a string which joins the outer portraits. Possibly these were mass produced, and the relevant photograph was placed at centre.
