Auxiliary Corps Harry Lawrence Oakley Peaked Shoulders Silhouettes Waac
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the silhouette of an American Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) member stands proudly, her profile framed against the backdrop of a setting sun. The WAAC member wears the distinctive peaked cap and uniform of her corps, complete with the insignia of the United States Army on her shoulder. Her determined expression and posture convey a sense of duty and commitment to her country. The image, captured by renowned photographer H.L. Oakley, is a poignant reminder of the vital role that women played in the American military during times of war. The WAAC was established in May 1942, in response to the growing manpower needs of the United States Army during World War II. The corps provided essential support services, freeing up men for combat roles. The WAAC member's uniform, with its crisp lines and military bearing, is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of the women who served. The cap, with its distinctive "WAAC" insignia, is a symbol of their identity and unity as members of this important auxiliary corps. The use of a silhouette in this photograph adds a sense of timelessness and mystery, while also emphasizing the strength and resilience of the WAAC member. The contrast between the dark silhouette and the golden light of the setting sun creates a beautiful and evocative image that speaks to the courage and sacrifice of the women who served in the American military during wartime. This photograph is a valuable historical record of the contributions of American women to their country's military efforts, and a reminder of the important role that women continue to play in the armed forces today.
