EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WW2 recruitment poster, titled "Join the Wrens (Women's Royal Naval Service) and Free a Man for the Fleet," was printed for His Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) around 1940. The image showcases a young, smartly-dressed woman in a blue uniform, complete with red hat and white gloves, holding a suitcase and gazing determinedly towards the sea. The text above her reads, "WANTED: Young Women. For the Women's Royal Naval Service. Join the Wrens and free a man for the Fleet." During World War II, the Wrens played a vital role in the British Navy, performing various duties both ashore and aboard ships. From clerical work and communications to engineering and mechanics, their contributions were essential to the war effort. This poster was part of a larger campaign to encourage women to join the reserves and take on roles that would otherwise have been filled by men, allowing them to serve in the fleet. The 1940s-era poster exudes a sense of patriotism and duty, with its bold red and black color scheme and striking imagery. The woman's confident posture and the promise of adventure and service to one's country would have resonated with many young women at the time. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of the important role women played during WW2 and the impact of their contributions to the war effort.
