DescriptionRecto: The poster is pretty simple, with red headlines and black text. The title (red) reads: "OUR WOUNDED MEN NEED HELP!". Underneath it says: (in black) "Ten Ways You Can Release Nurses/for Military Service". There are three smaller headlines with numbered lists under them. " Do all of these" (in red): /1-4 bulletpoints/(red numbers, black text); "Do at least one of these" (in red): /5-8 bulletpoints/(red numbers, black text); "Help recruit a nurse" (in red): 9-10. bulletpoints. The logo of the United States Office of War can be seen in the LL corner, depicting a bird with outstretched wings and holding a pole or stick-like item in its talons. The acronym "O.W.L." is centered on the bird. In a circle outlining it are the words: "United States office of war information". There is a red plus sign symbol next to the text "American Red Cross/Recruiting Agency for Army-Navy Corps".

Verso: Cannot be seen as it is glued to a poster backing. Words from the other side can be somewhat seen through the paper.
