Description
The Motor Corps of America
Original World War I Poster
A striking recruitment poster by artist Helene Jones, created during the pivotal early period of the Great War. The composition captures two members of the Women’s Motor Corps in uniform, depicted with essential medical supplies, the American flag, and a loyal companion. An ambulance visible in the background underscores their critical humanitarian mission.
The Red Cross Women’s Motor Corps represented an innovative response to wartime needs. These women trained in automobile mechanics and military logistics, stepping into roles traditionally reserved for men. Each volunteer committed 16 hours per week to Red Cross service—a substantial dedication to the national effort during a transformative period.
