Do your part, join the WAAC
Recruiting poster for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps: a low-angle photograph of a uniformed woman striding forward in front of ranks of marching WAAC members, under the headline 'Do Your Part, Join the WAAC'. The size of the following column shows others already joined, a bandwagon cue, and 'Do Your Part' is a general duty appeal.
