==1914 (Friday)==
*Enlistments: [[Thomas Edwards (16300 Pte.)]]
*Letter from D. Morphy & Co, Kendal: {{quote-left}}We have secured sufficient Army Grey Flannel to make 1000 men’s shirts, & can make & deliver these next week.{{quote-right}} <ref>{{lowther|recno=70}}</ref>
<blockquote>{{quote-left}}Notes of the Week: In the meantime recruiting is progressing fairly briskly, and it seems that Lord Kitchener will easily raise half a million men – or more – if he needs them. And he says he does need them. But such posters as that now on the hoardings, bearing [[Hugh Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale|Lord Lonsdale]]’s name, will not do any good. To ask “[[Are You a Man or a Mouse? (poster)|Are you a man or mouse?]]” will, I fancy, be taken as an insult by most men.<br>
There are many good men – and quite as loyal as Lord Lonsdale – who, for various reasons – cowardice not being one of them – cannot see their way to joining the Colours just now; but that is no reason they should be called mice. No doubt the poster was issued with a good intention; but – well – we are told that a certain main road is paved with good intentions. My own opinion is that the poster ought to be looked upon as a specimen of zeal over-running discretion; but I know a good many men who don’t take that view of it.{{quote-right}} <ref>Published in the [[Workington Star and Harrington Guardian]], 11 September 1914.</ref></blockquote>
