Miss ANZAC USA.

a place where service men from ‘Down Under’ could be entertained while stationed in New York.

The label was designed by the Polish Cartoonist Arthur Szyk (pronounced Shick) in 1944
whom Hitler had put a price on his head.

She certainly was Rod.
I blushed when I read from Gazza's article.

By now, hundreds of young Australians and New Zealanders
were training as pilots and navigators in Canada under the
Empire Air Training Scheme. When given final leave, they
headed straight for New York and Nola's apartment.

When the trickle of young men turned into hundreds
each week, she decided to set up a club.
