If YOU possess qualifications which cannot be utilised in the Army, or which are not needed at present, you are doing your proper job as a soldier until the war is won. If YOUR technical qualifications and experience are needed in the Army, and you are not yet a soldier-tradesman, then you MAY BE a square peg in a round hole. Your qualifications may be better than you think! Find the answer by asking at your Orderly Room for information about Army Council Instruction No. 1937 of 1942. If your particular trade qualifications are of the kind which may be required you will be interviewed by a technical Officer. You will then be told by the War Office whether you can better serve the War effort as a soldier or a soldier-tradesman. A SQUARE PEG IN A SQUARE HOLE FRANK NEWBOULD PRINTED FOR H.M.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
