WAAC, WWII

The Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) was officially formed in May of 1942. As with all branches of military service, the US Army was forced to deal with the shortage of male personnel, as WWII demanded that the majority of enlisted men report to active combat duty.

Our WAAC includes the olive drab jacket and officer's cap, along with the khaki blouse and skirt established as the Winter Officer's Uniform worn in 1941. This Tribute to Valor Eleanor's Girl represents the proud beginnings of highly respected branch of our nation's armed services.
