The blogging community is wonderful. Over the years many readers have directed me to great finds and resources. Recently Shore Acres suggested that I look at the the Military Yearbook Project website.
And. . . drum roll please. . . I found a photo of Aunt Marian’s company and Regiment. Thank you, Shore Acres!
Which woman is Aunt Marian? There are a lot of women, but I think it might be the 2nd woman from the left in the 3rd row. What do you think?
My Aunt the WAC 
I agree with you,Sheryl. It also looks like there were a few around her age. I wonder if the kitty was also in that company or if it was a pop in.

I wondered about the kitty, too. I hope that the officers let the cat be part of the group. It seems like a cat could do wonders to improve the new WACs moral. .

It’s a big group. I wonder what the different colored skirt designated.

I’m guessing that the woman in the front with the lighter-colored skirts were officers.

What a great photo to have. No doubt we will identify her for sure as time goes by.

I wonder if anyone wrote all those names on the back of their copy of the photo. When I label photos I tend to give up when I have a photo with a very large group.

I agree with her location in the photo. I looked at it in comparison to the main photo on the left side of your blog screen. It is difficult to pick someone out in these old photos. I have several photographs aboard my father’s ship and I’ve never been able to really pick out if I have one of him.

With photos like this there’s always a lot of guessing.

That’s a great photo. I am surprised there are so many women in this one photo. Hard to see the faces of the ones in the back row..

I know. If she actually was in the back row we’d never find her.

This just tickles me to death. I can’t really tell from the photo tonight, but I’m working wtih an old laptop while I’m traveling. When I get home, I’ll take another look. That really is exciting that you might have found her in the picture!

It’s hard to tell, but something about the one woman in the 3rd row really makes me think that it’s the same person who is in the individual photo that I have of Aunt Marian.

So exciting! It is so hard to tell though if the one you pointed out is her.
Check out all those hair perms!
And i’m so glad someone pointed out the kitty on the move 🙂

Love those perms! It’s so typical of that time period. I can see why the department store beauty shop had ads aimed at WACs. 🙂

I followed that link too and found it so amazing that someone saved the photos! Your Aunt is in there someplace! 🙂

How interesting to study each face so intently – lots of ‘mature’ women among them. Looking at the faces though I wonder – was the WAC segregated?
