A vertical World War II recruitment poster features a central illustration against a red and tan background. In the left foreground, a man in a brown military uniform and wide-brimmed hat stands in profile, carrying a large backpack and a rifle over his shoulder. He looks toward a woman at a desk on the right. The woman wears the brown uniform of the Australian Women's Army Service (A.W.A.S.), and is shown holding a document. The top of the poster contains the text "THANKS! NOW I CAN JOIN MY FIGHTING UNIT ---" in dark, capitalized letters on a yellow rectangular block. Below the illustration, large white letters with dark outlines read "RELEASE A MAN -- JOIN THE - A.W.A.S." At the very bottom, smaller black text states, "FULL PARTICULARS FROM... A.W.A.S. HEADQUARTERS VICTORIA BARRACKS PADDINGTON". A small color calibration strip and a ruler are visible at the bottom edge of the image frame.
