The WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) was a women's branch of the United States Navy created during World War II because of the need for more military personnel. The WAVES' members held the same rank as male personnel and received the same pay. WAVES did not serve aboard combat ships or aircraft. By the end of the war, over 84,000 women served in WAVES with 8,000 female officers, which constituted 2.5% of the US Navy's personnel strength.

This poster was printed by the Reliance Manufacturing Company, which presumably made uniforms for the WAVES program.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
