Nah there had been other large world enveloping wars, the Napoleonic Wars jump to mind.

The "Home by Christmas" and "a good adventure for our boys" was a normal type slogan from the U.S Civil War till the end WWII and probably longer, nothing shocking at all.

I actually think that the "Home by Christmas" was/is associated with WW1. To be honest I have never seen it associated with the US Civil War, but I might be wrong.
I seem to think it may have been used at the start of the Korean conflict.
