Item Name / Model: Miniature Women’s Army Corps (WAC) Guidon Assembly Item Type: Handheld Accessory / Building Block Figure Prop
Item Description: This is a single custom-crafted accessory assembly designed specifically for building block figures and historical military dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of the official unit field guidon (pennant) for the United States Women’s Army Corps, mounted on a pole.

Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a rectangular tile featuring a solid Old Gold (yellow) field. To accurately replicate the physical swallow-tailed shape of a standard military field guidon, a white triangle cutout is printed on the fly end (right side). Centered prominently on the yellow background is the official WAC emblem printed in Mosstone Green, which depicts the helmeted profile of Pallas Athena. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this specific and historic military detail.
-
Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard building block character, allowing a figure to hold it as a unit standard bearer. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in your brick scenes).
Historical Background: This accessory accurately replicates the official unit guidon of the United States Women’s Army Corps (WAC) from the World War II era. While the WAC branch standard (flag) utilized a green background with a gold emblem, the active field guidons inverted this color scheme—using an Old Gold background with the Mosstone Green insignia. The WAC was created to allow women to serve in critical non-combat roles (such as military intelligence, logistics, and communications), thereby freeing male soldiers for frontline combat duties. The branch’s insignia—the profile of the Greek goddess Pallas Athena—represented wisdom, strategic warfare, and skill. A guidon featuring this exact design would be carried by a WAC company or detachment to represent the unit’s presence and rally point. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic World War II support bases, communications tents, or building block historical dioramas honoring women’s military service.
