Trolling Library of Congress photos today came across this one, of interest (well legs on driver) but solid rim tire and strange shovel (head doesn't seem to fit right) are interesting too. poor bumper, another girl is waiting to clobber it.

In a special war bond campaign which began April fourteenth and was ended May twelfth, the public schoolchildren of the South-Central District of Chicago purchased 263,148.83 in war bonds and stamps, enough money to by 125 jeeps, two pursuit planes and a motorcycle.

Re: Jeep dame of the Day.... Wash Day!
Washing a jeep
"Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. Some WAACs lean more toward the heavier work such as auxiliary Doris Johnson, of Leipic, Ohio, shown washing down a jeep. Fort Des Moines, Iowa"
Supposedly Dec 42, but wouldn't Des Moines be iced over by then?
