I think there was a large thread on this group a few years ago, but could not find it.  Anyway, I picked up this complete deck of playing cards a few days ago.  Has the insignia of the Massachusetts Women's Defense Corp Schools (MWCDS) on it.  I believe they were the forerunner of the Massachusetts Women's Defense Corp (MWCD).  There were about 100 of these schools spread across the Commonwealth to teach women about various things they should know to help in the war.  They later morphed into the MWCD when the Dept of Public Safety took them over.

While I am it, I had also picked up another of their cap badges. This one is in mint condition and came with 2 decals.
