American Legion Women's Auxiliary

Title

American Legion Women's Auxiliary

Description

Black and white image of a group of older women in dresses. Their dresses are generally knee-length, and they all wear low heels. Their hair is short, and most wear it up and away from their faces. Two large floral bouquets bracket the women, and they appear to be standing in an American Legion building. The 'Preamble to the American Legion Constitution' is printed on a sign hanging on the wall in the left background of the image. Museum records identify the women simply as an American Legion group.
