I haven't been able to find out any history of the BAAC but have managed to get a little bit of history

Title: Drive That Wedge To Victory

Comments: This poster has a wonderful image of a wedge being driven into the Nazi swastika. After Dunkirk and the Blitzkrieg began, Americans opened their homes, hearts and wallets to the British and among the volunteer organizations formed was the British American Ambulance Corps. This poster was a recruitment poster for the Ambulance Corps and very few of these remain (None are on the Internet).

The President of the Ambulance Corp, noted on the poster was Wall Street professional, William V. C. Ruxton, who is more famous for having a 1920s automobile named after him despite the fact that he was not an investor in it. I've provided a picture of a Ruxton below.

Artist: H. Gilbert Levine

Date: C. 1940
