Meanwhile, a vibrant color lithograph titled "For Every Fighter a Woman Worker - Care for her Through YWCA" highlights women's vital contributions during World War I, ensuring that every fighter had ample ammunition support. Traveling back centuries, we explore ancient battle tactics depicted in "How They Fought in the Days of Old.
