For #IWD, we recognise the women of the U.S. Signal Corps. Called the "Hello Girls," 223 American telephone operators served in France, relaying orders to & from the front lines for the A.E.F. They had drill, wore uniforms & held ranks, but weren't recognised as military veterans until 1971.

Self portrait of Horace Pippin. He painted it in 1944. Close up of his upper torso and most of his face. Wearing a dark sport coat, yellow shirt, and gold striped tie. Pippin started his career painting scenes inspired by his WW1 service. Also known for expressive landscapes, portraits, religious subjects, and portrayals of slavery and segregation in America.
