Women on the Battlefield

There was never time when the
sacrifices and the help of women
were more appreciated than at the
present time. The influence of
women is felt everywhere, on the
battlefield, in the hospitals and
amongst the producers at home.
Conditions created thru this war
demonstrated the fact that women
can in almost every case replace
men successfully. Women all over
the world realize more and more
that their work, at home will help
the men at the Front. 1t involves
great sacrifices, hard work and un-
usual physical strength. Women
at home should study nursing for
war and for the home. A good way
to learn is to send to Publisher Of
