A wac in england 1944
Hello, Just picked up this wac groping at the local antique show.
One of the dealers had several tables of odds & ends he had just recieved and several boxes of random paperwork/photo’s.
while going through the boxes i became aware that in one box eveything was labeled with the same name.
I am quite dense at times and my wife had to point out the obvious to me……
All the paperwork and photos were from a lady here in oklahoma who had joined the wacs in oklahoma city in 1943.
Upon becoming aware of this i immediatly picked up the whole box and began negotiating with the dealer on price.
we finnaly settled on 35.00 for the box and a british made presidential unit citation as well as a slot broach american defense medal with fleet bar.
A small portion of the photos show a field littered with glidders as well as supply drops. unfortunatley while having some discriptions on back the photos do not say where the drops were.
In addition there are 2 large photos showing p-51 fighters with writing on back wich say they are jimmy doolittles escort over england may 13th 1945.
Also one large 8 by 10 of doolittle with 2 other generals.
if any one is interested in further info obout this grouping please let me know.
