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-1079 in its World War II Posters series.
Why it matters
The auxiliary became the Women's Army Corps on 1 July 1943, so a sheet that says WAC dates from that summer or later, and this headline carries forward the claim of the earlier WAAC sheet, This Is My War Too.
What to notice
Set it beside 44-PA-231, the WAAC sheet: the same first-person claim, made again under the corps' new name.
The same claim, under a new name.
