Abstract:

Over 400 women in Edgecombe County served as either a member of the army or the navy during World War II. Fortunately much information about them was recorded in a locally published newsletter, "The Home Front News". Of the group, three women have particularly interesting stories; namely, Beverley Bridgers, Mary Howard and Westry Battle. Bridgers met Eleanor Roosevelt on the day before the war began. Howard set up Red Cross centers and by the end of the war , Westry had become the highest woman officer in the U.S. Army.
