The Australian Women's Register

Recruiting leaflet for the Australian Women’s Land Army which was created in 1942. It was only after the Fall of Singapore in 1942, when the threat of invasion became a possibility, that the Manpower authority was established to direct and co-ordinate all labour resources. The Australian Women’s Land Army was established to help provide food, as Australia was viewed as a supply depot for troops stationed in Queensland. 27 x 19 cm Leaflet Collection 7/2/12
