"SHELLREP" artillery report from 1944, surprise attention getting photo

Advertisement Shellrep Artillary 1944 w/ pinup photo

`Soldiers - Ad for "shellrep" If you see enemy artillary shells falling, call your headquarters and turn in a "SHELLREP" (SHELLING REPORT) giving them as much of the following as possible....more information listed on this military advertisement for soldiers during WW2.`

`This information will help your own artillery knock-out the enemy artillery.`

What I like about this ad or piece of information to be given to the soldiers is the pinup on the backside that will surely attract the soldiers attention.
