Broadside. Linen-backed. Large illustration of a woman in a blue WAC uniform carrying a surgical tray. Poster: 37-3/4" x 25-1/4". Backing: 39-1/2" x 27-1/4" <br/><br/>Although the U.S. Army Medical Department was one of the slowest to integrate women when over 5000 of its combat-ready men -- including many trained technicians and orderlies -- were forced to transfer to the Infantry in early 1944 the department began a major push to recruit women to fill the positions. The Female Medical Technician campaign as pictured here was hugely successful despite the high qualifications demanded of applicants many of whom were required to have advanced degrees and at least two years of experience in their fields. WACs also served as laboratory technicians psychiatric social workers medical stenographers and in a variety of other technical and/or skilled medical positions; by the end of the war the Medical Department employed approximately 20000 WACs nearly a fifth of the Corps. Treadwell United States Armies in WWII. Special Studies: The Women's Army Corps The poster reads in full: "Women . . . our wounded need your care! You can help to give it . . . The U.S. Army Medical Department is calling for help -- the help of WOMEN -- needed in Army hospitals to serve as medical technicians surgical technicians and in other important assignments.

1903003671Colombo Ceylon now Sri Lanka 1903. Half Morocco. Very Good. 8vo. 18.5 by 14.5 cm. iv 44 pp. the leaves made of heavy card stock. The author a colonial officer for the British army would later publish "The Annals of the King's Royal Rifle Corps" which contained his color illustrations of uniforms arms and equipment and other works. From this work it is clear he had artistic aptitude and as an officer in Ceylon undoubtedly a lot of free time to indulge in the creation of this work. It would seem that this work was written with an eye on possible publication but that did not come to be. Few will not be charmed by the many vignettes of badges and coats-of-arms mostly rendered in bright watercolors with some done as ink drawings. Also illustrated are flags and banners. Some of the tissue guards are heavily foxed while the cards proper sometimes have offsetting from this soiling. A large chipped loss to the leather spine with a partial loss of one letter of title. Still a very handsome album. <br /><br /> books
