Program: This is my war too! The Women’s Army Corps during World War II

Speaker: Laurie King

The Women’s Army Corps (WAC) was formed at the beginning of World War II, as the United States realized the need for more service members. While not allowed to participate in combat, the WAC’s motto was “free up a man to fight” by stepping into the support roles, such as switchboard operator, mechanic, and much more. Over 600 WACs served at the Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation; even more were shipped out via HRPE to serve overseas. Join us to explore the lives of servicewomen on the peninsula during WWII. Laurie King is an archaeological conservator within the Batten Conservation Complex at The Mariners’ Museum and Park. Laurie received her undergraduate degree in Art History from the University of Virginia, and received her MSc Conservation Practice from Cardiff University in Wales. Additionally, Laurie has been studying women’s history during WWII since 2017, when she joined a women’s WWII reenactment group.
