Here's a fun bit of history from נוסטלגיה אונליין - שימור התרבות הישראלית, which is dedicated to feeling nostalgic about Israeli stuff. Their Facebook page posts interesting photos and old-timey advertisements.
This is an ad from the early 40s encouraging women to enlist to cook for the British military during WWII. I especially enjoy their correct use of the 3rd person feminine verb form, a verb form which periodically falls out of use in the Hebrew language.
"Wanted: Cooking Soldiers. For the women's auxiliary forces, cooking soldiers are wanted. Women age 40-45 will be accepted for this work, as for other tasks. The cooks will receive additional training after they pass the regular training.
"Although these draftees are under the terms of the general service, they will nonetheless be given service placements in Palestine."
