Rosie’s Riveters and Their Missions Over Europe

Cover : G.I. Chapel in P.G.C.

The sketch on the cover shows the doorway of the GI Chapel at APO 535. Cpl. Richard Gaige, YANK Staff Artist, who is responsible both for the cover and for the center spread on APO 535 (Kazvin, ‘Qazvin’ Iran), plans to do similar sketches on most other camps in the command in future issues. Watch for your camp, then tear out the illustrations and send them home.
