Black and white photograph of the Canadian military recruiting centre in downtown Kitchener, Ontario in 1941. There are two walls of sandbags in front of the building and two soldiers, with guns on their shoulders, are standing on the sidewalk in front of the sandbag wall.
The large banner above and slightly to the left of the gothic arches reads: Recruiting for Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps - Active Service and Reserve, 24th Field Ambulance R.C.A.M.C.
A large poster, below the top banner, shows soldiers with a flag and the word "Together" below the image.
Below the poster, a banner in the centre of the building reads: The Need is Great - ENLIST NOW! - Apply inside.
The recruiting centre was located in the former Kitchener post office at the corner of King and Benton Streets.
