- Caption label from exhibit "World War I ...": Roy Hull Still Enlists the Help of Stenographers. In the shadow of the U.S. Capitol building, a soldier shares the stage with a stenographer, both essential cogs in the war effort. The United States needed more than soldiers to fight the war, issuing repeated calls for secretaries and stenographers. Another example in the Library's World War I poster collection claims a shortage of 5,000 stenographers and offers a yearly salary of $1,100. Nearly sixty years after the war ended, the female stenographers who worked with the American Expeditionary Forces in France were granted veteran status by a 1977 act of Congress.
