Women's Army Corps recruitment photo
A publicity photo, no date or location, but too good a photo to stay in my files. It's probably from 1943 when the WACs were put on active duty status in the US Army. 150,000 volunteers served in the WAC during WWII.
Although they served with uncomplaining distinction, it was far short of the hoped-for replacement of a million men for reassignment to front line duty. The WAC was folded into the regular Army in 1978.

Reply to WaPo,
Cold Fury - You miserable elitist tapeworms in your exorbitantly-priced
urban ratholes, quivering in terror at the nascent American
renaissance? You surely can’t be talking about normal Americans, who are
in the main living contentedly in quiet, peaceful homes surrounded by
loving families; perhaps competitive but by no means viciously so;
suspicious not of each other but of YOU and your ilk, their would-be
masters, and quite rightly too; comforted and enriched by the Christian
faith you deride and mock from the depths of your mindless
ignorance—while you yourselves provide a near-comical example of true
spiritual shallowness by mindlessly chasing after every fad guru,
shaman, mystic, quack, crackpot, or plain charlatan who knows an easy
mark when he sees a city full of them. Zero Hedge - Baltimore Mayor

During the Second World War, when the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (i.e., the "W.A.A.C."), which later became the Women's Army Corps (i.e., the "W.A.C."), was initially organized, my stepmother, Alma Capps (now deceased), of Rockfish, North Carolina, was the 104th woman to enlist, and after completing her Basic Training at Des Moines, Iowa, spent the war on the beaches of Florida watching for enemy aircraft.
