There were two British Prime Ministers during this time. At the beginning it was Herbert Asquith, who had been in office since 1908 and although a Conservative, headed a Coalition government which was formed when the war broke out due to the gravity of the international situation.

He was replaced on 7th December 1916 by his Chancellor, David Lloyd George, the first Welshman to become British Prime Minister. Lloyd George saw Britian through to victory in November 1918 and was Prime Minister up until October 1922.

Asquith died in 1928 at the age of 82; Lloyd George died at the same age in 1945, soon after the end of WW2 in Europe.

What was the government type in Australia during World War I?

Australia was still a Dominion of the United Kingdom during WW1. The Australian Federal and State Governments had limited self governance under British law. The United Kingdom declared war upon Germany and its allies, this declaration of war included all the United Kingdom Dominions of the British Empire. Australia achieved independent sovereign nationhood status following WW1 in 1919. Having said that, however, Australia was led by its own Prime Minister in World War 1. As an example, Australia was caught up in a heated debate about conscription, as PM Billy Hughes sought to introduce conscription, following a trip to England. A referendum was held, and defeated, and Hughes' support of compulsory military service led to his expulsion from the Labor Party. Australia was not obliged to follow England's wish in this regard.
