What it is
A recruiting poster for the Women's Army Corps, from July 1943 or later, held by the National Archives as 44-PA-906 in its World War II Posters series.
Why it matters
The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps converted to the Women's Army Corps on 1 July 1943, and a sheet that names the WAC belongs to that summer or the two years after it.
What to notice
The headline is a quotation in the first person plural, the corps speaking as a group already under way.
A corps already in motion, keeping a seat open.
