Description
In this recruiting poster, members of the Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC) march alongside the ghostly image of French medieval military heroine, Joan of Arc. French- and English-language posters often used the same images, but different messages. Here, the French text refers to Joan as an inspiration, while the English imbues Canada's military women with Joan's warrior spirit.
