Relation to Author: Grand Aunt
Since I found out about Catherine Leary's service in the Women's Army Corps I have had two questions: What did she do; and where did she serve? I now know where she served: Dayton Beach, Florida, and Camp Sutton near Charlotte, NC (in Monroe, Union County, NC). She received her training for promotion to Liuetenant at Fort Des Moines. So now I know she wasn't among the WAC that served overseas. Next I need to find out what she did. Also, I want to post this picture of Catherine Leary in her WAC uniform. The resemblance to my mother's side of the family is remarkable. Plus, she does look like my memories of her when I knew her in the mid-1980s.
