Description
English: The Polish Army in the Middle East, 1941-1943

The Women's Auxiliary Service of the Polish Army in the Middle East was composed of women and girls who were imprisoned in the Soviet Gulag after the German-Soviet Invasion of Poland and were released after signing of the Sikorski -Mayski Agreement in 1941. Practically all of them have tragic stories to tell of privation and suffering. Many of them have lost touch with their families. The tragic side of their lifes is not in evidence at the camp shown in the following pictures. Free once more to help the Allied struggle against Nazism they go about their work with gusto and break into song at the slighest provocation off parade. Some of them were fortunate enough to be able to bring their families with them.

Photographs were very likely taken in the Polish Women's Auxiliary Service training camp at Rehovoth, Palestine.
Date 15 August 1942 (Second World War)

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. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
