In WW1 nobody seriously "fought in Britain". Do you really want to ask why so many men fought "for Britain" in many parts of the world, including in trench warfare in France and Belgium?

At that time, the Crown was undivided. So, when the King declared war, all of his countries were automatically in it. This was not the same situation after 1931, e.g., for WWII. So, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc., were at war as soon as the UK was.

At the start of the war in 1914 a million and a half young men joined up, the thinking was that it was a great adventure and that it would all be over pretty soon, as news of the horrors of the wars started getting back to Britain men were not so eager to go,so in 1916 conscription was introduced, and all men between the ages of 18-41 were called up for war service.

There were multitude of reasons: patriotism, sense of adventure, inspired by previous wars such as the Boer War, pressure or sense of duties, being in the army paid well.
Oh course those went out the window when conscription took place.
