W.A.A.C. : Every fit woman can release a fit man...

British First World War recruitment poster issued by the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (W.A.A.C.). It features a three-quarter length portrait in the centre right of a smiling, waving woman in WAAC uniform. She is standing in front of a huge union jack flag and a crowd of other women also in WAAC uniforms. The title and text urges ' Every fit woman' to release a 'fit man'. The text printed in black ink is positioned in the lower half. Both the image and text are set against a white background and framed within a black border. The WAAC was a voluntary service formed in Britain circa 1916 as a response to great loses of men on the western front. The idea behind this service was to encourage women to volunteer to do administrative work for the Army so that more men could be freed up to fight. The service was renamed the Queen Mary's Auxiliary Army Corp in 1918 and was disbanded in 1921.
