War work #advert

I found this advert in the British Newspaper Archive.
It's from the Sunday Mirror on Sunday 28 December 1941.

I've saved the clipping in three sections to make it easier to read.

I wonder if anyone took any notice of the exhortation. And how the Ministry defined a war worker? And what essential job the woman in the picture is involved in?


This second promotion was designed to encourage women to join the WAAF. 

It was in the Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail
on Monday 27 October 1941.

The Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) was the female auxiliary of the Royal Air Force during World War II and established in 1939. At its peak strength, in 1943, WAAF numbers exceeded 180,000, with over 2,000 women enlisting per week.
