# More nurses are needed! All women can help - learn how you can aid in army hospitals

Painted scene of a tired nurse in helmet and field dress shielding her brow, an intravenous bottle and a rifle beside her and an arm hanging in the foreground, under the headline 'More nurses are needed!'. The technique is faint here: the strained face and field setting carry an emotional appeal, and the uniform and caduceus lend the Army's standing to the request.
