Packing Up

WAVES received “seabags” (Navy-issued duffel bags) for their voyage on the ship to Hawaii.

In this photo, WAVES Ava Barton and Marcella Fisher get some last minute packing instructions from Lt. Margaret  Kuechle before shipping out in January of 1945.

It comes from the National Archives.
