Wac Co G 70 GermanX.

The high appreciation OF the British
army authorities for the Waacs is
shown by an invitation now being
made TO the girls TO volunteer for
service in Germany. Just as each took
the place Of a ut man in the critical
days Of the war, so each one who now
volunteers to go further forward viii
enable one more man to be demobilized
and return to his place as the bread
winner at home. Hitherto the Waacs
have not gone beyond the Franco-Ger-
man frontier.
