On y voyait Lord Kitchener, ministre de la Guerre, l'index pointé vers la personne regardant l'affiche. L'idée fut reprise par les Américains avec l'Oncle Sam à la place de Lord Kitchener et le slogan I want you ("J'ai besoin de vous"). Aujourd'hui on utilise l'expression dans tout appel à la nation, comme dans l'exemple suivant: Thinking about becoming a nurse? Call this number now, your country needs you ("La carrière d'infirmière vous intéresse? Composez ce numéro dès maintenant, le pays a besoin de vous.").
